    Was it just me or was there a little window at the end of customizing an e1705 and e1505 that said for xx$ you can get a different paint scheme?

    hmmm, never heard of that. I don't think so, but we'll see what every one else says.

    No. On some systems they've offered different lids/stickers and wrist pad colors also but never paint schemes for that you need to go here: colorware

    They do nice work on apple's and dells. Price isn't to horrible either. Otherwise there is smoothcreations.com who does work for falcon northwest and individuals.

    It's a clip-on lid that you pay extra for and it gives it a more unique look as compared to other Dells floating around.

    With the XPS Gen 2 you get a colour window, but you can either get the lights and silver lid otherwise you'll get a regular 9300
