If we can get over 1000 units of only one type, I'll foot in for 100 of that type (preferably Ubuntu).  However, if there is enough demand for Kubuntu as well, I'll foot in for 50 of each.  Does anyone have a contact inside Dell that we might be able to have them buy in on something like this?  I'm sure their marketing department would pick up 10K units of the Ubuntu if the price was good.  Another option would be to take an interest vote on the forums to see if the price can be driven down even further.  I know Jenda's case badges are quite a bit better than the ones from System76, but the brushed metal would be top notch.

Honestly, even though I use the Kubuntu flavor, I'd rather all the different flavors jump behind unifying the Ubuntu brand.  If we have different badges for every flavor the costs will be high and it will be that much more of a pain to manage.
