HP Desktop Skins

NOTE: I have just learned something- Save your work in case Firefox crashes. I lost my post I was going to well, post here. So here's what I got.

HP has these new desktop skins for their computers. A pre-made design costs $50, while the upload-your-own-design costs $60.

Now you're thinking "Wait- I can make my own?" Yes. I'm going to save you some time by linking you DIRECTLY to the site. My catalog leads me to a page that talks about it but says COMING SOON. But there's a link that brings you to the actual site to make your own. So go there. I was thinking of a Glitch City/MissingNo/'M theme for a skin. But hold the phone right there. There are 2 things you need to know first.
1) Skinit (the people who make the skins) has the right to not produce skins with content which is copyrighted or explicit or adult in nature. Example: I can't get a skin that says things like "F*** OFF" or "N*gg* stole my bike!" or have pictures of porn or whatever sick things are in my mind. Probably bloodshed and violence are no-nos too.
2) Your images have to have a minimum 2 megapixels (2 million pixels) but it is recommended (for quality) that you have 5 megapixels (5 million pixels.)

Now for the fun stuff- some of the designs I made!
1) The MIT PC

An HP a1XXX PC, with MIT skinned monitor (17 inch) and PC (full skin)
The PC skin costs $50, the monitor skin $15. So $65 isn't bad.

2) iBlue

Same deets as the MIT PC, $65 total cost.

3) Soaring High

Same as above. $65.
