Just giving this old thread a bump 
Two of my XPS laptop's gaming lights failed, so I had Dell Tech support come out and replace them under warranty, along with the palm rest (my palms wore thru the magnesium finish), the black display cover (put some nicks in it due to carelessness), and upgraded the T2500 Core Duo CPU to a T7600 Core2 Duo (got it at an insane price). The blue painter's tape got replaced with clear contact paper... looks much nicer now
Before:
After:
Not installing Vista yet... still too flakey for some games. I'm waiting for SP1.

Got it about a month ago, and runs beautifully But as many have said, Vista does have problems with some games. It's kind of annoying. Otherwise Vista is great.

the only thing still the same there is the motherboard, power supply, and the case. My next upgrade will be a new motherboard which will require me to leave my poor 7 year old 1337 case behind
I will miss the suck look to it but the wonderful working guts. The best part will be the new power supply i have sitting next to me, a gold plated 680W ;D

Sorry I don't have any photos (cameras dead) but this will have to do. This is the good thing about not having a girlfriend, you can spend it on things that matter.
The screen I use
http://sp.sony-europe.com/media/8/3979
The computer part is a custom machine. Basic run through of the stats.
And the Alienware Area-51 ALX Pure Power Desktop at full spec.

I am by no means rich. Just a decent salary with which I can afford the monthly repayments on the bank loan. I regret nothing.
