    I'm curious - while browsing around I stumbled onto the Alienware starwars collection desktops :eek: {insert drool here} what AWESOME looking machines.

    http://www.alienware.com/starwars_pages/awswaurora.aspx

    I saw a thread or two about adding graphics to the top of a laptop, so the question (my question anyways) - has anyone found star wars graphics???? like the ones linked above.

    I'm not 100% sure but I believe they have that painted on by a professional painter. We've had a few guys here have there laptops painted including a guy who had his done in star wars. If your interested in buying a new system with a star wars design/theme I can get you one in either 15, 17 or 19inch flavors all dual core and with great graphics and screens. We can definetly do star wars for you just let us know what kind of specs and design your looking for.

    So what does a paintjob like that cost anyways? the laptop and the desktop?

    BTW: I showed this to my 2 teenage boys- and well, lets just say they've started a savings acct! :)

    Desktop was $700 including keyboard and mouse.

    Laptop was probably around $600 but cost was rolled up into total price of lapto as I ordered it from Hypersonic and they sent to Smooth for painting.
