    Silver; horrible in pictures, best in person. Plus silver exterior with the black interior is a nice contrast.

    The paint job Alienware does is awesome, the paint really sparkles (on the r2 atleast, I have not seen the r3). It is like Mona Lisa, but live!

    Definitely has to be the Nebula Red Anodized Aluminum. Hands down.

    Doesn't look that great in pictures, but in person, its a whole different story. Pictures do not do justice for this color.

    You know, Alienware should send out "colorplates" and charge $1 or something small for them. Color seems to be sometimes a big "thinking" point for folks, and they'd probably make a bit more $ in the process.

    Nebula red as my baby, end of the thread, close the poll, close the thread and call to Dee/Alienware and ask them to offer only Nebula Red as R1 and R2 :p

    Space Black FTW!! I like the nebula red on the R2 but in my line of work where my AW is praised that choice of color is not proffessional IMO.

    Stealth black neck-in-neck with nebula red.

    I chose stealth black on r3 mostly because I like the grayish tint of it. Although if I had an r2, I probably would have voted in favor of a metal color
