So all the talk about the 7800 being out really made me want to get my laptop upgraded to at least the second best card out there, so I ordered a 6800 Ulta from Dell. It took Dell two weeks to send me out the card which was enough time for me to decide I didnt like the white trim on my laptop so I decided to also follow Dellbert's instructions:

and order me the black palm rest and LCD Bezel.

The palm rest came which I liked so I ordered the hinge cover. Then a day later I found the XPS2 steel lid on ebay for $25 shipped and the white trim was really bugging me so I ordered that also.





As you can see my 9300, is sort of now a XPS2... actually I dont know what it is anymore.

At first I tried using the leather quick snap I had on the XPS2 lid and it did fit, it wasnt perfect but It would of stayed on. Not to mention the XPS logo's on the lid did not glow and looked a little dull.






I really liked the XPS 2 stelel lid and decided to see if I could could get the XPS logo's to glow so I removed the LED's from the XPS logo's on the steel lid which lets the screens' light make the XPS logo's glow a purple white color.

Very nice if you ask me.



And the logos glow!!!!!!

Just today I recieved my 6800 Ultra from Dell installed it and it works great I scored a 5336 out of the box.

So my question is now what is my laptop is it and XPS2, or a 9300 that looks and performs like an XPS.
