I will check out that site when I fire up my "modern" Intel Mac later.
Trying to wear out this 8-yr old Lombard G3 Powerbook, no luck, it just keeps running.
I think I might be jealous of your Speck see-though case.<g>
I also have my 15" MacBook Pro protected by a hardcase, a Matias Laptop Armor job, which they test by dropping on concrete from 10 feet high, then checking the Mac for any damage whatever. (there is none, of course)

Good grief, that site is _really_ interesting, they even warranty _their_ modification of a stock Intel MacBook.
Kinda makes me wonder how Apple's own warranty will be affected by the modification, however.
