No Skull Cap Upgrade For Current M15X Owners

So im on the phone with and alienware and they are telling me that it is not possible for me to get an upgraded skullcap case . that sucks but they ae trying to see if there is any other way for me to get the case hopefully

 

Keep us updated. Someone else had reported being told that this was not possible, but you never know.

 

well i guess the casing cannot be upgraded, alienware told me that it is not possible since they would have to basicly rebuild the computer.

 

So if i'm say, on phase 3, is it possible to get the skullcap?

 

if you cancel and reorder, yes.

 

I don't see why you can't just send it in and let them change the case.

 

generally yes; that's what would make a hypothetical silver->black change impossible. that said, the skullcap should be easier. ask them if replace the back of the screen if it got *damaged* (for a price, of course -- I'm not advocating warranty fraud)

 

Personally, the Skullcap design isn't an actual chassis change, it is just the top of the laptop. Take a look carefully and you will see that there is a seam between the back of the lid and the front. All AW did was take off the ripley lid and place on a skullcap lid instead. I don't even think that we will see a change in the quality of the case (in terms of the hinges and whatnot).

There was a user here that ordered a lid for the Alienware D900 and just placed it on his actual D900 so it was a Clevoware computer

 

from the pics that I saw it looks like its only the back piece to the LCD. That would bee cool if you could order the part and just swap it yourself whenever you wanted.

 

@Taco - Yea that is my point. If it is just a back piece than the quality of the case overall still probably isn't to par with what it should be.
