Thanks to the guys who posted the links but there doesnt appear to be anything local to me (Milton Keynes). I have decided to try and make some out of painted MDF. I had a large sheet of MDF in the garage, left over from some other project. Bought some MDF primer and black gloss paint yesterday. I have given them a couple of coats of primer and it looks OK sof far. Next step is the gloss. If that doesnt work then I will have to make a trip to the local dump !
My PC is orange and beigy-silver, and you can use it as a hi-fi (ish) when the PC isn't on. Does that count?

I agree. I've just put laminate down and am perfectly happy with it. It's half the price of good carpet, lasts many times longer, is easier to clean, and can be easily fitted DIY thus saving on fitting costs.

Haven't opened that flyer yet...will do so now!
I suspect that putting a couple of coats of black enamel straight on to MDF will give the sort of finish you're looking for.
He said hi-fi, meaning high fidelity. DAB doesn't qualify :-(

I know, but it was the orangey\beigey factor that's the association. When Crown have cornered the market in orange\brown radios that sound s**te then people will think Bobs hi-fi is one of those. Gotta knock a few points of the 'wow' factor don't you think?
Had a look - Crown's orange is grossly inferior! As for the beige....
I remember when they were the proper "duck-s**te green". Non of this modern arty-farty stuff.
So do I...I used to sell them! I was out of all that by the time the orange came in...
A better finish is matt blackboard paint, then a coat of wax polish over it.
