I want to make a compact table model pc, but I can't figure it out. It has sort of an indent in the front, and I want to make it 3d. Here is a picture of the one I want to make:http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs976.snc4/76904_160255567346792_100000870481236_264489_1594829_n.jpg
It has the speakers on it too.
I need help making it in Milkshape! I wanna do it my self, but I need help because I have never done this before. I also wanna change the screen images on the computer.

It would be best if you actually got started on your object and then asked specific questions. Right now it seems as if you haven't started on making the package or meshing. I would recommend googling meshing tutorials for whatever 3d program you are going to use to help you with meshing the object. We can't offer any help when you haven't asked any questions. So get started on the meshing and when you get stuck come back with a specific question. Once you have your new mesh in game and working, then move on to changing what's on the screen.

Okay, only problem is is that I am a COMPLETE illiterate when it comes to meshing, and I haven't been able to find any tutorials for milkshape or blender 3D. The best I can make in Blender 3D is a Tsunami simulation.

Chances are that if you can mesh something as intricate as a Tsunami simulation in Blender, you should be able to mesh a simple computer no problem. As a base, why don't you export the Maxis computer into Milkshape to see how that is made? Follow this tutorial http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=78555 . Instead of cloning a table, clone the Maxis computer.
