Is there anything I can do to improve the appearance of my PC?

My two year old laptop got a few cracks to its body. I am generally a bit of a rough guy with tech and it did take a drop last year when I was mugged (guys pushed me down and fortunately did not realize I had a PC in my backpack).

The keyboard area has a few cracks. I used power-glue to prevent them from spreading. I inserted a SSD and put in a new battery (I paid a decent amount to repair it).

The only thing is that the glue has left some blobs on the keyboard area. I want to make it more presentable as I sometimes use the machine for travel.

Can I buy a skin cover for it? I have seen skins for the top (screen behind) but I don't really need one there as the body is the issue (keyboard casing).

1. You look online for some accessory that has RGB lighting and get some LSD tablets.

But, make sure you do not take the LSD tablets first, otherwise you could end up getting a delivery to your door of an order for GHB instead of RGB, or even a knock at the door from the KGB, you know? Both of those results are equally dangerous, I hear.

Have you tried looking on www.aliexpress.com for the cracked pieces of case. They often sell the individual panels for some laptops such as Lenovos etc. The plastic panels are not usually very expensive but I'm not sure whether these parts will be available for your model.

Keyboard skins, vynyls... all available but easier to get for some models. What model is it?

I'd forgo the GHB for DMT. KGB will come dressed as LGB and put you AFK ASAP
