Good places to buy a colorful laptop?

What are some good places to buy a laptop where you can choose the case color?

Dell offers 8 "vibrant colors" for an extra $25 or $50. Does any seller with a positive reputation offer something like this?

Also, what's Dell's rep for laptops nowadays - are they considered decent?
 
Asus sells different color notebooks. You can even get them with different color leather wrapped exteriors.
 
Dell laptops are still Ok.

It is the service that was reduced to Nothing, However most others services are not necessarily better.

Get a brand name that at the time of buying offers the best price for the same hardware capacity.

It does not really matter whether it is called Toshiba, HP, Dell, Sony, etc.
 
Thanks guys. So are there any options for colored cases other than Dell, Asus and Sony?

Also Asus' only colored case options seem to be the Lamborghini models, which don't seem to be customizable, and are quite pricey. I'm looking more in the $1,000-$1,100 range.
 
I ended up ordering an Inspiron 1720 Ruby Red Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz w/ 2 gigs RAM, screen upgrade, GeForce 8400M GS and a bunch of other stuff for $1,214 (plus tax). It was actually a $1,639 system but fortunately, I randomly decided to search for Dell coupons - and found a $425 coupon that actually worked! So glad I found that coupon, I totally didn't expect it to work. Got a much better system than I would have otherwise.

In case anybody might be interested, the coupon codes I found were:
FVPC0ZKW?XPR4L (for $250 off $999+ system)
CS0R$WQL4MZG22 (for $425 off $1399+ system - this is the one I used)

Also FYI, for each Inspiron 1720/1721, there are two base configurations. The $849 ones actually end up cheaper, because the higher base configs (while normally cheaper when customized identically) have another discount that makes the coupon value halved, thus actually increasing the price by a couple hundred bucks.
