    Blacker than Black Metal!

    If BLACK had a $100 price on it, I'd take that over the others.

    . . .I'd like it even more with Skullcap design.

    Yeah! I love metal too \m/

    When I get the R2 I will get black lid. Once you go black, you can't go back ;)

    Silver looks pro I think but I thought the cosmic black was a little more low key. I wish they would bring back the green (forget what AW called it)

    I love my black. I have seen a red one in person and I'm happy i did not go with it. I just don't like how part of the laptop is black and part is red. Also some of the fx colors just don't look right with red.

    I saw some red M17x pics and I have to say those pics does not do the Red any justice. Here is pics I took with my M17x:

    I'm 98% set on black 2% silver, but I think I'm going to get another lid, strip it, and get it sprayed a metallic gunmetal gray. Maybe airbrush a design on it.

    No this is an anodizing place. Solid color only.

    What are they doing to change the color? Might be something I'm interested in for the R2 and the bike.

    Can also go the DIY route to strip and annodize it. I've found numerous kits online.

    EDIT: You guys are quick

    Interesting, something to look into. I just asked a local anodizing company to do it and they said sure. They asked me if it was all aluminum but I told them I didn't know. :eek:

    I wanted white but their website says "clear, black, gold, green, blue, red".

    Clear, black and red are out which leaves gold, green or blue. I like all three colors.

    Maybe time for a new poll.

    I'm wondering how well the aluminum would take to auto paint/clearcoat, after some prep work. Could get pretty elaborate. Though it takes away from the unique aluminum aspect of the computer, it could turn out really nice.

    Edit: How about a nice fuschia? ;)

    I vote for a powderblue/baby blue if they can do it, or even the green. Would definately be an attention getter I would think.

    lol how funny Dell chose the first idea (the red one), named it Nebula Red and add $99 price tag on it. They stole our forum's idea lol.

    I love blue but it need to be kinda dark blue (something like blue theme on Dark Blue TV show poster :D)

    I voted for RED. However Blue would be much better if it were somewhat dark or royal blue.

    For the record I have owned the RED, Black and currently have a silver that my wife uses. Once i can get 5xxx series ATI or 3XX series Nvidia, Bluray and EPP i'll buy my next one. Maybe Blue will be an option in March.

    I'll have to go with black, because any LED color looks good on it. Unlike Red and sometimes silver :eek:
