Thx but i kinda like them stock. ^^

haha yea

And... done!

Heeh yeah, wonder what the differences are between Dell-6970m and mxm-upgrade-6970m compared to the differences between Dell-5870m and Clevo-5870. GL! I certainly hope it got the same features (ie audio @ displayport).

But Dell doesn't offer it as a upgrade to the M15x. *sniff* It's officially only for the M17x R3, right?

Hmm, so how could I order a 6970m from Dell? I only have a M15x. Currently using a Dell-5870m i got from ebay a while back. But atm the 6970m goes for 800$ on ebay.

Thanks thanks! (where is all the M15x threads? i feel LONELY!)

(finished) So after seeing Inap's wonderful paintings I decided to give it a shot. I'm thinking orange! It will be the first time im going to completely disassemble my system. So thought i would share my progress and hopefully an awesome result. Firstly i bought a new pair of magnesium covers for my lappy in case of something went wrong. The alien head was glued on to the lcd cover and the plastic plate was welded on. I used a heat gun for the head and a small drill for the plate. Rest of the stuff was kinda straight forward off. Just a screw here and there (ie. battery lock) With the bare magnesium set i went to get rid of the old paint at a chemical cleaning called Danclean. Could maybe have done it myself if I had any knowledge of the actual paint. Now I have covered (blue heat resistant tape from the powder coating place) the areas of the magnesium set where I don't want it powder coated. Since it's the first time I do this I wanted to make sure everything would fit inside afterwards. I will have some more pics to share soon... ... which is now! It's not perfect but here it is to enjoy!
