Great personalization shield inserts

I've found a great way to make new inserts for my XPS Gen 2's personalization shield: calendars. I picked up a new Darth Vader calendar today and made seven great inserts out of it, all of which go nicely with the red LED's. Now I'm going to be on the lookout for good Star Trek and assorted sci-fi calendars to fill out the roster.

Anyone know where I can get an X-Files calendar?

Anyway, I hope this helps people.

You can do that too, certainly, but if you want more than one the ink usage will be murder. A properly designed calendar can net you a lot of inserts for minimal effort and cost.

You have to call them and order it from their Spare Parts department.

Holy crap JRMacumber, that is fantastic. I was actually thinking of repainting my 9300 once it gets a little used but wow, those look great.

As far as I know the LCD cover will fit a 9300, the problem is it realllly doesn't look right, looks out of place for some reason, the color scheme aint right....Still worth a shot if you got nothing better to do!

If anyone finds some images that would make for good inserts, let the rest of us know.
