    my friend doesn't want his 1730, and i do. however, he is a geek, all out. i don't want to trot around my school with a world of warcraft notebook, so i was wondering if there was a place where i could buy a skin that shows off the lighting affect, but hides the "World of Warcraft" logo on the lid.

    Can of spray paint and you can 'skin' it youself. Have not heard of anyone - especially a school aged kid wanting to hide the WOW thing... now I can think of several reasons why I would not want to pull my WOW 1730 out at a meeting - but heck if I was school age - why not show the Alliance and or Horde that is.

    Don't bother your going to be lugging that heavy huge 17 inch laptop to school for like 2 weeks


    then your going to stop and wish for something smaller
    like any of those other laptops you have in your sig lol


    I actually checked online and nothing...ALTHOUGH keep checking Dell site because they are making skins for a bunch of them (M1330 and bunch of desktops in that list)

    so just check up on it and they will prob have that system up

    Never understood why anyone would want to ruin their laptop or backpack or clothes with a WORLD O FWARCRAFT!!!!! Logo all over it. Good luck.

    At the worst you can order the back bezel and just replace it. just go on ebay and look for LCD BEZEL M1730

    Haha - Nick so I take it you don't like Wow :)

    Beyond the wow grphic on the back the rest of the wow 1730 is quite a bit nicer to look at than the 90's "Plasti Carbon look of the standard 1730" Really I don't know what Dell was thinking with this. No comparison to the flat black on the wow model -- But to each 'is' own.

    i could show the horde symbol, as my friends will not know what that is. However, I will be made fun of even when friends come over.

    thanks for the suggestions, they really helped.
