    Nah, I like 25% of people going silver. Makes my laptop that much more distinguished :).

    I got mine as a system replacement, so I couldn't go for the red...

    silver is totally the way to go, and it does not show fingerprints.

    You guys are confusing me. I love Red. > 50% voted for Black. And a lot of people suddenly jump in say how beautiful and how good Silver is. Im lost :D

    My favorite is silver.

    I find red better looking, but i'd get bored of it more quickly.
    I find black not good looking.

    Yeah, red cost $100.00 more. But I save myself some money by getting it now, cause if you get it later, it's $200.00+. Red is beautiful.

    Also like you mentioned, people do not want to pay an upcharge for the Nebula Red. :)

    Actually $99 may not be the reason. Beside the reason I find Red is more agressive, I chose it because with Red even though you have to pay $99 extra, YOU GET 260M SLI AS STANDARD so it turns out to be $100 or $200 cheaper. That deal is still available under Core 2 customization. You guys can check it. So don't blame people on that :p

    You print decal for living? Where in the US you are living bro? Can you print something like the skullcap I post above? I will be very happy to purchase one from you :D

    Edit: Oops! Forgot to tell in my previous post I was just kidding :p Remove the wings and it looks nice.
