    If my second replacement comes in acceptable condition, i'll be part of it. I hang around here enough as it is when i'm at work. Haha.

    If my replacement does not come in acceptable condition, I might join the HP team. :p

    Not to bad. Much better than I could do in PS.

    I like the lighter red, but the text from the darker one.

    I'm in! I don't personally have a Dell but the family computer is a Dell and I use one at work. I have owned a bunch though and I will get more when the Mini comes out and when they refresh the M1730 or successor.

    Awesome graphics Bauer. I like both! I think the red one stands out more among all the other "sigs" people have, although the black one is just as snazzy looking.

    Thanks guys. I was a little partial to the fonts and stylings of the second one, so I just changed up the backgrounds with some default vista/os x wallpapers and came up with some (at least I thought) cool looking ones:

    Edit: After posting this I realized they were all green. Oh well, I'll try to get some other colors/designs in later.

    I think we should have like a rotating color scheme for Team Dell. Like Red for this month, Blue for next month, etc etc. This way, we can bring a little color to the whole forum!

    What if everyone linked to one image on photobucket (or some other service) and the account owner simply changed that image each month. The end users would have to do nothing.

    Yea, all we need is a mod or dedicated leader that hosted the "rotating" image. No action needed by the forum goer's, and its like we all look like a real team with real matching jerseys :eek:
