    Anybody seen these AWESOME skins for the Alienware m15x notebook, scroll through the slide to see all the designs. for $42 (don't worry ships international too) you get a skin which goes on the lid of the notebook, a skin for the keyboard, & LCD skin. Shame you only get one set for $42 but still a note of interest for m15x users, I recommend no.79 & no.111 (black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

    Check out the skins HERE:

    Any Skullcap skins ?!

    On a second thought, I think I'll keep mine plain :p - I prefer it shiny.

    42 bucks for a sticker? im sorry i think thats overpriced. decal girl is the best but they dont make m15x skins :(
    i want my m15x black. i wonder if it could be done right by a professional artist. maybe i can upgrade the chasis from alienware for the black skullcap. i wonder how much it would cost.

    the stickers include a full system set - pre customized for the m15x. You don't have to send in your laptop's size/dimentions to another company for them to try to build one. For these, there is next to no chance of the wrong size.

    I saw a guy who painted his Dell completely yellow in the Cosmetics Modifications forum; you might want to take a look. From the pics, you wouldn't even notice it's been painted, he's done a great job.

    no, ebay is an auction house.

    is there anywhere that will allow you to make a custom skin for the m15x?

    3acp is a power seller (is that the right word) on ebay, so it's like an online shop.

    but have it your way: http://www.3acp.com/3acp.htm

    and yes, you can contact them about a custom skin. :D
