    I'm planning on getting the Zalman 2000 with my Sager NP8662. Does it look better with the black or silver one?

    Once you go black, you never go back.

    heh, well i was thinking if the 8662 is all black, maybe it would look better with a silver contrast? and, does the black paint chip wear off at all?
    those are my only drawbacks!

    I have a black 2000 and it looks sharp with the 8662. Then again, I don't really like how the silver one looks, so I might be a bit biased. ;)

    :p

    The NC2000 doesn't have paint. The aluminium is anodized.
