Hey guys, new here, anyways on to business:

I am receiving my Asus G50VT-X5 on Monday and I am curious if I can swap the lid cover with that of a G50VT-X1 or a G51?

Don't know for sure, but why not, since they are pretty much the same machine with different specs.

cheers ...

I say yes also.

They're pretty much the same so yes, I don't think they'll have a different type of screw positioning etc, so it should be done. Good luck

Does anyone know where I can get a G51 lid?

Googled around with no luck, no results on ebay either.
