    Damn it, it's been two weeks since I ordered those things and I still haven't got them. Does anyone else think I've been scammed?

    White with blue and red lines on the edges. Should have a stamp that says it's been air freighted or something. You'll know, because the sender is Wongchuham, and it should say that on the envelope.

    Good luck with yours, I hope you get them soon!

    Hey, I think it's a good idea for those of us upgrading our computers.

    I have an eMachines desktop with a 2650e and the Athlon 64 sticker. I will put a 4450e or 4850e in it and then I want the Athlon X2 64 sticker to match.

    My new laptop (which I missed the FedEx guy this morning and have to wait til TOMORROW to use it) has a Celeron 900 in it. I'm putting in a T4300 PDC. I want the sticker to match.

    My wife's box has an HD4870 video card. It has a plain ATI sticker. I want the 4870 sticker. It's just the way I am.

    You'll notice I go green every time I look at my wife's Durango. It's a Sport model, but it doesn't have the Sport badges on the doors. Drives me nuts thinking of spending $30 for two decals, but dagnabbit, I might very well do it!!!

    Haha, I'm pretty neurotic about my stickers. I had to have an ATI sticker for my 3650. Also did I mention that having a Windows 7 sticker improves your life by 7 years? :D

    If the 20mmx20mm is the biggest size, then yes. There's no Centrino 2 one the same size so that's why its on the front, it would look out of place :D


    I haven't had any issues since the first week where I must have installed a bad driver because closing the lid or unplugging my mouse reciever caused it to blue screen; which ended up corrupting the windows install and I have to flat out restore the system image.

    Been using 7 since the 15th of September without issues though, and apart from a few things about the build quality (they don't annoy me enough to have to sit on a phone for 2 hours anyway), I'm happy. Only time will tell if I have problems, I've only had it... 3 or so months.

    i would get rid of those ugly advertising-stickers they placed on for the stores. if you want, leave the bragging-stickers (win7, cpu, gpu, and such), but remove those big text-advertising stickers. without them, your laptop would look much more pretty. believe me.

    Yeah, I was thinking about that. I was just wondering if it would leave residue or marks from the adhesive used on them.

    There's always goo gone~

    With those, if you go slowly enough, you won't have any issues.

    Ha, I considered getting a Windows XP sticker to replace the Vista one that came with my laptop after I downgraded. Never did, but now the Vista part of my Vista sticker has all peeled away (with some help ;)), and all that's left of it is a shiny mirror-like surface. Still have my Core 2 Duo one in good condition, though.

    And I agree with daveperman - especially on a laptop, those huge Toshiba stickers don't do anything to improve aesthetics. On a desktop, those big stickers are rather out of sight, out of mind, and are kind of neat for nostalgia 6 or 10 years later, but on a laptop, I'd scrap any unusually large stickers. AMD/Intel/Windows are all fine (if you like the version of it you got), but I wouldn't go for anything that takes up half the palmrest.

    edit: And Goo Gone was what I thought of as soon as you mentioned residue marks, too. Works quite well.
