Hello minibox-ga,
Changing your PC or laptop is called modding. I?ve found some services
that can do it for you but I think you probably can do it for
yourself. I?m including links to several illustrated tutorials that
will give you step-by-step instructions. I?m also including lots of
photos as examples and inspiration as well as some general resources.
Have fun!

Services
We appreciate your interest in having us customize your mac. However,
we?re currently just two guys, who mod in our free time, and dont get
paid for it. Therefore, until such time as we have the ability to
expand our venture, and dont have a huge backlog of stuff already
promised to people, our services are are not available to the general
public.
Despite this fact, if you have an idea or project that you absolutely
MUST try and tempt us with, go ahead and try. You?ve got nothing to
lose, and we might say yes once in a while.

case mod
[from ?case modification?]
1. Originally a kind of hardware hack on a PC intended to support
overclocking (e.g. with cutouts for oversized fans, or a freon-based
or water-cooling system).
2. Nowadays, similar drastic surgery that's done just to make a
machine look nifty. The commonest case mods combine acrylic case
windows with LEDs to give the machine an eerie interior glow like a
B-movie flying saucer. More advanced forms of case modding involve
building machines into weird and unlikely shapes. The effect can be
quite artistic, but one of the unwritten rules is that the machine
must continue to function as a computer.
