    I tried doing a search. I am probably phrasing it wrong. I just wanted to know if the newer style Gateway Fx casing can be ordered separately (the one with the solar eclipse look). I can't stand the way my computer looks, but otherwise I am happy. I have the P173x version...if I am not mistaken they are all identical. Thanks.

    the 79xx series is the new graphic.

    But they are pretty new currently, you might have to wait a bit for them to become available places like ebay. But eventually the lids at least will be for sale, sometimes even teh whole case.

    Though that seems like an awful lot of work for a different graphic on your lid. You know you could just get a skin for the lid/handrest and it would look the same. And probably cost 1/10th as much and less hassle to apply
