I have used Bestine (an adhesive solovent and cleaning agent) for various tasks. When removing price-stickers from CD jewel cases it didn't mar the plastic in any way, and it has even helped remove price-stickers from record jackets without damaging the printed cardboard below. Only metallic inks seem to be affected.

I have a powerbook duo with some unwanted permanent marker

Has anyone been able to completely remove
permanent marker off of a duo?

I've had considerable success on similar projects using "GooGone"
Sticker Lifter liquid. It completely removed a thick "Sharpie Swipe"
from the beige plastic casing of a scanner bought sight unseen on eBay.

You should be able to find a small bottle of this for around $5 at your
local Home Depots, Office Depots, Office Max, etc.

I'll ditto the several previous replies regarding benzene chemical
composition of permanent ink, first testing a hidden corner and then
cleaning a wide surface area. No need to dilute the GooGone Stickier
Lifter liquid however.
