    Just checked the Dell UK Site and Nebula Red is now available.

    Looks quite good to me, glad I haven't ordered mine as yet.

    Also we now have the option for a Custom Nameplate.

    Well you are pretty much stuck with the red keyboard/AW head/Speaker lighting scheme, but still a damn nice looking laptop.

    It's up on the US site now.

    Edit: $100 upgrade? Anything to make a few extra bucks.

    Bro, I was just gonna say that. Are you serious? +$99 for the red? Insane.

    I think they might have gone a little overboard with that one.

    If someone really wanted the red I'm sure they can call in and negotiate it in without raising it $100. That is dumb.

    I would pay the $100 for red :D

    I guess I am crazy so don't go listening to me! I think the red looks fantastic and now I am contemplating waiting or not to place my new order.

    Hmmm.... I want to wait but I REALLY like the red. You guys think if I ordered today or tomorrow that I'd be safe because I don't get home until 8/5/09.
