The Compaq Presario 5000 series had a color kit you could order. The Kit changed two front bezels on the computer and has parts for the speakers and keyboard that I do not need.
NUMBERS
195202-002 orange
-004 blue
-005 purple
-006 red
-007 green
Many shops on line claim to have these but a call finds they do not.
To complete the series I only need orange and purple.
Anyone know of a place with  them?

First of all, no sort of trading can be done on the forums... its in the rules.

Second, these seem to have a proper name of "Compaq MyStyle Color Accent Kit" which I get this from here:

Interesting that there are collectors of "modern" computer hardware...

There was a 2nd kit, WildStyle Accent Color Kit, but I have never seen any of those. Were any made?

@earlytv - I believe Tripredacus was just indicating they are going to be very rare. His post was by no indication that he knows anything more than a link to an Archive of information. Your computer is 15 years old and it's doubtful that these special parts will be generally available unless you can find a collector somewhere.

 

In other words, you're own your own. Sorry...

Yeah, things like this end up in "white whale" category. Unless you want to drive yourself insane, I wouldn't actively search for them and instead focus on something else. In my own collecting ways, I always find I cannot ever locate the thing I'm looking for until I start looking for something else.
