Re: custom powder coated alienware M15x.
I thought the m15x was made out of anodized aluminum, like the MacBook Pro.

Re: custom powder coated alienware M15x.
thanks, aikimox.
actually the M15x is magnesium but the M17x is made of aluminum. i don't know why they choose 2 different materials for similar models.M18x | i7 2860 | 8GB HYPER X 1600 | Intel 320 series 300gb & Intel G2 160GB | 1080p | SLI 580M | Killer WiFi | Wireless HD | Blu-ray | 4 Yrs CC

Re: custom powder coated alienware M15x.
the paint shop took the longest, it was a week. so from ordering the extra parts and paint then reassembling everything back, probably around 3 weeks totally time. but prep time and putting everything together only took a few hours.

This looks great! I would do similar with my Latitude, but I bought a "Man Geek Evolution" Sticker.

Re: custom powder coated alienware M15x.
Lambo Edition of the Alienware... nice... did you do it yourself or did you use aftermarket service? Maybe i should powder coat the thinkpad in black....
