Well, you deffinatly earned it, I wouldn't consider that free. You should take more pictures! Unbelieveable .. entertainment shelf ahha .. I need to find a good black aluminum slab .. you'd think they'd make some decent looking laptop...

What laptop pad is that? What about the mousepad? I love the matching look! That laptop is in my dreams .. I am too broke to buy a real XPS so I am going to buy a E1705 and mod it with XPS silver palmrests and the back lid. I LOVE that...

Take pictures of the Back Lid in the dark showing it shining through! That does sound neat! Anywho .. what about the keyboard, was that an exact drop in replacement too? Thanks for all your help. Ok, so it's not a fully custom job, it's...

Truelife = Glossy coating. What in the dickens is UltraSharp? I am looking at some laptop displays and they're Truelife which I know means glossy but then some are "ultrasharp" others are not. What the heck in terms of...

If you aren't planning on upgrading to Vista then it doesn't matter. Vista is a different story tho. I feel a little bad for everyone who JUST ordered laptops like in the past week. Litterly one of those "outdated before it gets to...
