Dell custom PC case designs going global

I have never had the insatiable need to customize my notebook like some users. I would prefer a notebook with more power on the inside and less bling on the outside. Some users want both and to cater to the notebook buyer that is looking to pick not only what goes inside a notebook, but the style of the machine as well Dell offers its Dell Design Studio Center.

Dell buyers in the U.S. have been able to use the Design Studio Center to customize the exterior of the Studio 15 and Studio 17 notebooks for a while now. The world's number two computer maker has announced that it has added new designs to the Design center for users to choose from and will be adding more based on themes chosen by different curators.

The first theme that shoppers will get to choose designs from is called "Today" which features a collection of modern art. Dell says that the new additions mean that there are now more than 120 new designs that the U.S. shopper can choose.

Dell customers in other countries may be annoyed that they don’t get to use the Design Center to customize notebooks, but that will soon change. Dell says that it will be rolling the custom Design Center out to users in other countries over the coming months. Starting in December users around the globe will be able to choose from the classic designs that were part of the original Design Studio launch.
