I posted this in the Community Discussion board but wanted to share here as well. I'm pretty happy with how this came out. Might not be everybody's cup of tea so I thought I'd post here to get additional reactions and opinions.

Thanks! I had it done at a company local to me, somewhat near Plano, TX (Awards, Gifts & Engraving- Wylie, Tx agandeonline@gmail.com ). This work with them cost about $75 (includes artwork). However, they said that they would give a $15 discount for anyone mentioning MacRumors referral.

That's awesome, I'm thinking of doing something similar. Wish they weren't so far away (I'm in Michigan).

How long did it take?

You can email them. I'm not sure how they would handle 'mail in' work but it may be an option.

The artwork took the longest and that was because I was trying to decide between 2 different images. That took about 3 hours I'm guessing. Next, the test outputs and such took about another 2 hours. Of course, I would imagine turn around would be dependent on their current workload so I'm sure they would indicate ETA in communications.

By the way, total time for my project completion was about 5-6 hours.
