    Greetings,

    My m15x has been through hell and back this past year so it has a few scratches and wear i would like to get rid of.
    I figured the best option is probably just to refurbish it myself. Replace the whole exterior case, the keyboard and the touchpad. Pretty much all the parts that are prone to wear.

    I am not sure however where to get these parts. Anybody have any ideas?

    Thanks,
    - Mal

    Ebay, NBR Marketplace is your best bet. You can source it through Dell, but usually top casing are ridiculously priced as they don't go "defective" and people replace them due to physical damage or cosmetic issues.
