    Hey there

    So I've got an Asus M70VM (17") and I'm kinda getting a bit bored with how it looks, so I've put the AlienGuise theme manager on it (in XP, I have Vista on the same laptop as well but there is only 1 theme for Vista provided and it's not all that good. :().

    So I was wondering if it's possible to source those cool looking Alienware outercasings (particularly the lid) from anywhere and how difficult it would be to fit them over the Asus lid or instead of it?

    its going to look bad unless you have a background in repair work or custom building. It's gonna be cheaper to just out right buy an alienware.

    depends on the lid and it needs to be a 17 inch if you want black and if your smart you can get it off ebay or comething do it cheap you need to have some degree of know how to make it work i have never done it but i know it can be done
