    I went "Back In Black"

    AC/DC
    Back in Black (1980)

    Back In Black
    I Hit The Sack
    I've Been Too Long I'm Glad To Be Back
    Yes, I'm Let Loose
    From The Noose
    That's Kept Me Hanging About
    I've Been Looking At The Sky
    'Cause It's Gettin' Me High
    Forget The Hearse 'Cause I Never Die
    I Got Nine Lives
    Cat's Eyes
    Abusin' Every One Of Them And Running Wild

    CHORUS:
    'Cause I'm Back
    Yes, I'm Back
    Well, I'm Back
    Yes, I'm Back
    Well, I'm Back, Back
    I'm Back In Black
    Yes, I'm Back In Black

    Back In The Back
    Of A Cadillac
    Number One With A Bullet, I'm A Power Pack
    I'm In A Bang
    With A Gang
    They've Got To Catch Me If They Want Me To Hang
    Cause I'm Back On The Track
    And I'm Beatin' The Flack
    Nobody's Gonna Get Me On Another Rap
    So Look At Me Now
    I'm Just Makin' My Play
    Don't Try To Push Your Luck, Just Get Out Of My Way

    CHORUS

    (Out Of The Sight)

    But what about:

    Red Red Wine (UB40)
    Little Red Corvette (Prince)
    99 Red Balloons (Nena)
    Lady In Red - Chris De Burgh
    Red Sails-David Bowie
    Red Hot (Debbie Gibson)

    LOL, OK, some songs suck here. :p

    I just ordered nebula red, partially because of some of those pics! The red makes the black seem so bland..

    If I were to ever get an Alienware, it be red or green or whatever color that is not black. Black is too generic for the price you pay for an Alienware. Asus G series is already consider a "Stealth Black Bomber".

    Agreed. If it were available I would have picked green over red, even paid a little extra for it!

    I agree that Dell/AW should have more color options. They should make Green, Yellow, Blue, Orange etc available.

    I would really like a bright metallic Orange Alienware :D

    Mine is black. Kinda wanted a red one, but it was a replacement unit, so didn't want to push it too much.

    I don't understand why they don't have green considering that Alienware or Alien in general used to be green. It is very hard to resist an green Alienware notebook.

    ^^Yeah, I wouldn't mind at all paying an extra $20 bucks for a cool green colour. Green is my favourite colour. They need to have more colour options.

    Voted black

    But, really wish the black was a "Piano" Gloss Black. Similar to the gloss black where the front vent LED's are.

    I do like my blue legacy m7700 which is going strong for 6 years

    Flashier = Greater % of getting robbed XD
    So Stealth Black for me. Looks more professional. Red is just immature.

    P.S If Alienware really wants to make me excited they should do a milky white like the Porsche 911.

    I like both colours but I lean towards black as all of my electronics are black. Both look nice though.
    I've heard the rubberized finish can wear out over time so I may sand it down and paint it. Probably one of the numerous modifications I will do when I receive mine including water cooling and taking the silly holes in the front and turning them into vents.

    My M17x was red, and I was so tired of that color when I was about to get myself the M18x... sadly, they did not have Stealth black in stock.. So I was forced to go with the Nebula Red again... sigh... I agree with the one saying Lunar Silver, it's a fantastic color for AW M18x.

    Since the OP was specifically mentioning the M11x, most definitely red. Mostly because it just looks damn sexy and instantly stands out as an Alienware, but also because the red shows that it's either an R3 or early model (and rarer since it was quickly discontinued) R2.

    Stealth black for now but the red would match one of my bikes. Once I get finished overseas and get my paint booth up then I'm really thinking about painting it midnight blue with cobalt flames to match my favorite bike.
