Over the next few months I'll be participating in a few events including MIX08, SXSWi and Microsoft's The Code Trip bus tour. I looked into getting my laptop laser etched but from what I've seen on the web, etching the Thinkpads don't look as good as the MacBooks. I decided on paint and had a local sign shop cut out a stencil for me from an .ai file I provided to them. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and adds a little more fun to my rig than a plain black top.
