    Seriously? Another color question?

    If you like blue...get blue.
    If you like red...get red.
    If you like white...get white.

    There's a lot of pictures in NBR's review:

    I'd wait until February when Dell offers the 8800M GTX in the M1730, as the 8800M GTX is much faster than dual 8700M GTs.

    Do your bank account a favor and take this laptop-> http://www.sagernotebook.com/product_customed.php?pid=29186&action=customize

    It's the same laptop as the XPS 1730 (a clevo model don't remember wich one) but the base price is $1000 less and you can have a 8800M GTX

    Edit: Wow, we were thinking the exact same thing.

    With the customing lighting feature (LightFX) I personally think Grey looks the best. Red, Blue, and White look really weird in actual pictures. You could change the color that the "wings", as Dell calls them, light up, too so Grey is a great choice for tha fact.

    They do ship to Mexico. The 1730 is 30K MN I believe so $2800US. You can easily configure that SAger with a 8800M GTX, and a T9500 for $2300US
