    You guys have done a great job btw. Silver skullcap just looks a little misplaced, just my opinion. Not trying to bash or say you did a bad job. But I think the regular silver looks solid by itself.
    Guess that's all due to the fact i love the black more. ;)

    Too late, AW reps saw your pics and now are in the development stage of making a skullcap M17x.

    But, the original never got skullcap so the new one may never as well.

    I actually prefer the Ripley design to the skullcap, I find skullcap demands too much attention from the rest of the laptop which IMO is not a good thing, and IMO it just doesn't look all that great.

    I would think a Tempture changing Paint job. Basicly it starts out Blue and when you start playing High end game it slowly start to change to red.

    Just thinking on the back side of the laptop. Once the laptop start to heat up the heat from the vents should be hitting the back side of the lid. If it had Image let say a Dragon or flames. When the computer warms up the image will come to life.

    Nice job, only thing I noticed is that you made a synthetic cureved edge to the lid of the laptop. Not a bad job if it, but a slight transparency to the layer, or if GIMP has some sort of layer blending effects, it would take care of itself ;)

    I used the Screen or Lighten effect on the overlay, then once i had it in place changed the Hue and lucidness of the photo back up... I guess I just missed a little part

    Ah, I see. Doesnt take away from it or anything, I just thought that if you were hand drawing the glare from the edge there it would be a lot more work on your part , lol.

    Hey ryujin, I painstakingly cut the dragon out of the wallpaper by hand, so just about anything you want with that dragon in it is fair game. Freaking sweet dragon I might add, gonna use it for other stuff ;)

    Nice job with the dragon one, very cool Butters. Just an idea, you should try a transformers one. Just seems needed for this piece of technology. Also moo..you said you had a present for your m17x when you get it. Do you have a sticker/paint job waiting like one of these to put on! tell meh!
