    No seriously, the OCZ Whitebook, which is white, but not distributed by OCZ anymore, so it's the ASI Whitebook?

    Anyways, it looks loads better in white. Add the M17 keyboard and badges, and maybe in the near future there will be a White Alienware M17:

    The lid has a gloss coat and the palmrest has a matte finish to prevent/resist fingerprints

    I think it's possible. We'll just need a way to get all the current colors on the keyboard to light up all at once.

    very nice. Did you paint it or buy the white lid and palmrest?

    Never mind I saw your other post stating it was painted.

    Yeah we had the discussion back in the OCZ forums awhile ago but I don't think anyone was able to mod the BIOS to get it done.

    If the Whitebook ever comes out with 4860/4870x2 I'll pick one up and see if I can't screw with the wiring to get all the lights on. I was thinking about getting a gmask wrap with an off-white ot light gray base color so your mod gives me some idea of what it might look like.
