    Shipping update!

    As stated in this post, all UK shipping is included in the price :)

    Going off the packaging size/weight:

    All EU shipping will be £3

    All worldwide shipping will be £4

    All Custom plates will be packaged in card sleeves within bubble shipping envelopes.

    Cheers

    Best way would be to send me details via PM.

    Example form:

    Machine Type (AW13 / 15 / 17)

    Name (Forum or Personal)

    Either Machine Spec or Service Tag/Express Code

    Alienhead background optional.


    Cheers

    Sounds great, I assume you'll probably get lots of PM's today. I prefer the service tag route but just getting the machine in a few hours :d

    So have got a few hours gaming in to 'test' the adhesive query ;)

    Once on and in place, its well 'on'.
    You can take the plate off with no residue left on machine but with the metal being 0.5mm thick i bent mine prying it off in one corner.

    I wasn't really careful as just ripped it off, though i'd imagine that it would easily be done if some time was taken with the removal.

    Quick wipe with isopropanol (not really needed) and its like its never been on :)

    Will pm you as soon as I am able to. When's the last day I can send info and payment?
    Most likely going with spec route since I don't think mine will be deliver until next week.

    With regards to final date.
    My plan was to let the poll run until its expiry date (7days). In that time I will purchase the plate materials and shipping materials, labels etc.
    Then once the poll is ended I will take everyone's details and begin the process of manufacture.

    Now if there are some who need more time, I'm sure everyone here wouldn't mind waiting an extra week maybe?

    What do people think to this as one big order would be easier tbh.

    Cheers

    Have just created a spreadsheet for everyone's details :)

    If you want, there's no harm in pm'ing me with your desired custom plate & shipping details.
    (gets all the current members details all in one place for labels)

    Just add in if you want the Alienhead background and also if it's the machine spec line or service tag express code line.

    Cheers :)

    You da man @Rairch
    The Alien Glyphs, Laser etching, that too Custom nameplate ? OMG, the real Alienware DNA. Coolest thing ever since a long time. Period.

    Really, much appreciated buddy for this NBR Alienware Legacy Initiative, Back then Alienware was so good, It's a mess now for me, I lost the nameplate that was made for my 15x she was so good, Miss those days, rings back those times, Well I want to get into the queue but as of now I have to move soon, If I know my location I'll vote and join before the Poll closes, So Please let us know If there's only one run of this or maybe you will start another batch or so.


    Thanks a lot friend, Have a great weekend :)

    Thank you very much for the kind words! :)

    Hopefully you'll know your location before manufacturing begins :)

    Depending on how things go for this first production run, I'll look into a single order basis.
    This would cause an increase in price, but if its reasonable I would put it up and see if there's interest.

    Many thanks

    So, 1 more day until the poll closes!

    It's great to see all the interest this has garnered over the past 6 days! Great stuff!

    If the 41 ' Hell Yes' Voters could PM me with their required custom nameplate information (+ name and shipping details), that would be great! :)

    Just putting all the labels together now for the members that have already given their details.

    I will be purchasing materials once the poll has ended and then get the manufacturing under way!!!

    it really has been a great few days chatting to everyone involved! :)

    Looking forward to hearing from you all (except you three 'Hell NO' voters! ...i kid ;) )

    Sure did.

    Apologies for the kak picture.

    Fits really well and cooler than under the service tag sticker. Still prefer it there though.

    Hope that helps! :)
