I'm building Dell Precision Workstation 610 system around dual slot 2's, the PIII Xeon. I've looked on eBay without success for the original case stickers. Does anyone know where to get one? The only photo I can find of what I'm looking for is quite poor, but this is such a sticker from a Dell 610:

I found a better photo of the aluminium PII Xeon here:

And then there's the non-aluminium stickers here:

But I'm looking for the sticker from the first photo presented. Anyone have ideas where to find them? I checked eBay, and even messaged some sellers of custom stickers on eBay, but one was no reply, the other said he cannot make it.

I dont think it is made of aluminium.
If i remember right the aluminium ones are flat and the ones with the "fingerprint" design are silver plastic.

On the aluminium ones the logo is embossed. on the plastic ones the outline of the text is debossed . This makes the metal ones look "more 3d".

EDIT:
After a little search i found a seller wich sold the stickers ( currently sold out).
Here the description of the exact sticker you want says its PVC.

Maybe the search for aluminium makes it even more difficult to find one.

Thanks. I didn't know what the material was, thus I called it aluminium for this thread. In my image file names, I referred to them only by colour, "silver" and "white". When I was doing my online searches, I did not specify colour or material.

If anyone has any of these "finger print" PII Xeon or PIII Xeon stickers, or knows where I can obtain one, please let me know. I'm trying to keep this case looking as original as possible.

I still haven't found the stickers though.

Have you tried reaching out to any makers on Etsy?

I did reach out to eBay guys making stickers, but one I had high hopes for did not reply, the other said he cannot do it.

None specifically, however that's a niche where you find such things (and some makers take-on commission jobs)... ie; https://www.etsy.com/de-en/shop/BadgeShopArt? … -about-shopname

Try reaching out to the guy behind Geekenspiel - https://geekenspiel.com/ - he might be able to help or make some. I've bought a bunch of case badge stickers from him for my builds, they're really good 😀

I think the 2018 Pentium Pro haul DIY badge reproduction results by KCompRoom2000 were excellent. Might be a good alternative to the real thing for your Xeon project.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've reached out to etsy and KCompRoom2000. geekenspiel was the individual from eBay who I mentioned earlier who did not reply.

Hi! Have you sourced the sticker you was after? I'm in desperate need of the same one.

No, I gave up. If you find some, please let me know.

Ok, just sharing my solution.
Found a guy on ebay who was selling some common cheap Xeon 600 in opened box, asked him to check if the sticker was still there (as his warranty leaflet was still sealed), he kindly confirmed that to me, so I just bought the whole thing for the sticker. Totalled some 25 bucks with UPS shipping from Canada to the US, quite an expensive sticker after all, but whatever, at least it is 100% authentic and new.

It is a lot for a sticker, but can you put a price on a hobby ... PLUS now you've got an extra Xeon 😎

If it's dual it's kind of cool ... 😎

Please use the "quote" option if asking questions to what I write - it will really up the chances of me noticing 😀

Could you upload a high resolution colour scan of your sticker when you receive it? Someone from the forum who checks his messages about once a year said he could make them with some blank aluminium stickers he has.

Sure, but won't happen till late March or April - it's going to Shipito forwarder, and later move on to Argentina, and our customs is a PITA.
