    Hmmm, not too sure meself.
    I like things quite minimalist, so on the underbelly would be my preference.

    Still, does look cool on top!

    The post was for all voters who would like a custom plate manufacturing!

    Could do with all orders in by friday, to get the manufacture started hopefully monday! (Depending on members details being submitted)

    Cheers

    So the Poll has ended and what a week it has been!

    So many messages from the great members around here! and 43 Votes to have a custom plate! Never expected that!

    Just want to thank everyone involved to get these custom plates off the ground! :) and for the support from everyone! Really great stuff!


    So materials are on order, all shipping labels and packing materials on order! It's going ahead!

    ********

    The boring stuff.....

    If everyone who voted to get a custom plate made could please send me their details via PM by end of week, that would be very much appreciated. (this is desired plate text, name & shipping details!)

    Looking to get all required materials by end of week to manufacture everyone's plates early next week (Monday - Tuesday) Shipping will be by end of next week! :)

    I will be requesting paypal gift payment on friday, so will add another post for this then.

    ********

    Again, thanks to all for the chats we've had and all the support! Really appreciate it all!

    Just curious to get ideas of what other people have asked for on their name plate. I've gone for:

    Alienware 17 R4
    Pete Light
    i7 6820HK - 32GB - GTX1080 8GB DDR5X - G-SYNC 120Hz

    How about you?

    What? You got the chance to say whatever you want on your nameplate, and you DIDN"T fill it up with swears or innuendo o_O?

    Something like:

    MESSAGE REMOVED BY MODS

    and that is the clean version ;)

    I didn't actually say anything, just a little joke, I wrote "message deleted by mods" leaving the message to the imagination

    ***** UPDATE *****

    Just a quick update....

    Metal plates have landed!

    All shipping materials now arrived, so just the manufacturing process left!

    Will have all orders compete and ready for shipping by the end of next week.
    I shall ship all orders Friday 3rd.

    Still awaiting around 20 members details so if you could get these into me by Sunday that would be great.

    Also, have been trying to sort something for a single order basis for all future orders, to make things easier for everyone (not waiting for a bulk order).
    Just finalising a pricing structure to accommodate this.

    So if you miss this order then something will be sorted soon for future single orders :)

    Again, thanks to everyone who have supported this little project!

    Cheers

    Will you be accepting payments through PayPal? If so, how much was the exact amount and to what email address should we send it? I live in the US so I would fall under international shipping, does PayPal handle the currency exchange? I've never tried. Thanks
    Edit: looks like it'd be 16 euros.

    Hello Rairch, I love what you are doing here for everyone. I have a question for you if you don't mind me asking...

    I have an Alienware 17 (r5?) That was the first to stop coming with a personalized nameplate, however it still did come with a plate on the bottom of the machine ( http://imgur.com/a/8gNiU ) I am curious if there would be any way for you to recreate one in this size and add personalization to it. Alternatively, would is be possible to send you my current plate on my laptop and have my name laser etched into it somewhere?

    I would still love to buy one of yours if not, but since mine has a spot for a plate and they just didn't personalize it with names at the time I would love to see if there's anyway to get that added so mine stays "flush" with the computer like it's supposed to rather than sticking something on the bottom you know?

    Hi.

    Thanks for your message.

    I have looked into this and unfortunately there is literally no one I can find who can offer a bespoke metal plate service.

    Apologies for this as I quite fancied an AW 17 style plate myself.

    Cheers :)

    Send us a PM regarding your current plate ;)
