    lol, the m9750/m9700 chassis's are practically the same as the m17, the m17 is only a little larger in height.

    I remember when I ordered the m17 (first month of release), there were absolutely no youtube vids of it as I was looking for basically more viewings to know what to expect of my laptop cosmetically after the dreadful 2-3 weeks wait. Sure there were CNET vids, but that dude with the long hair just annoys me. I solved this problem by searching m9750 vids, and walaaaa. :cool:

    Not that anyone cares about my opinion but these skins are U-G-L-Y. These Alienware notebooks look great already without them.

    just so you guys know, they make these for the m15x too, and someone from here bought one and it wasn't exactly a close fit.

    My question is, if this skin process and company have been around for a while, can anybody tell me why we don't directly sell those skins ourselves?

    50 bucks a pop from ebay, but people would probably shell out between 60-80 if it was applied directly by Alienware and the option was available during the ordering process.

    I'm not surprised to hear that. I noticed all the skins are skins I've seen before for regular lids. I was wondering how someone could do such a good job with the trimming.
