There's not much drip on the grill; I'm not exactly sure how that was achieved - I agree that it seems like it was done without removing the case.
I ran into the original owner on the street the other day, and apparently it had worked up until recently (it was modded shortly after purchase - as he says, "that was how we made computers look cool in the days before the iMac"). I should have thought to ask him how he painted it. After a very rudimentary attempt to troubleshoot, I think that the problem has something to do with the power supply.
I'll try and get a pic up of the mice soon - they work fine, and are pretty funny looking, painted kind of in the manner of a 1990s squirt gun...

Not the very best cosmetic mod IMO, but rather interesting choice of color I do believe. Something tells me that this was done without removing the case and somehow the spray paint might have gotten into the grills on the top back, which might explain why it doesn't work. Of course, it could also be a number of other things but from the way it looks I can only assume the former.
Still, it's a nice score overall. Congrats.
