Where online is a good place to buy a decal skin for my laptop? (HP DV5000). I want something to make my laptop look cool. I've checked out Decalgirl.com and liked their designs. Are there other places I should be looking?

gelaskins.com is what you're looking for.
I particularly like this and that one.

Schtickers has a good selection of skins, or you can design your own if you prefer.

SkinIt.com has exactly what you want.

Look on eBay for an HP SkinIt Coupon. You can find one for exactly $4 and use it online to get a skin with free shipping. It even allows you to upload a custom image. I used Starry Night.

I have a gelaskin for my iPod and it's wonderful. It has a nice sort of matt finish that doesn't show scratches or marks, it's very thin and hard wearing and they have beautiful designs. It was very easy to put on accurately and is a perfect fit.

However, they don't do widescreen sizes for laptops and I'm not comfortable cutting one. So I have a schticker on my laptop. It's good but not as good as the gelaskin. It's hard and shiny so I had trouble getting it flat (there are still some bubbles) plus it shows the scratches etc. It is the right size and there are decent designs, and if you prefer very smooth and shiny you'd like it better than the slightly textured gelaskin.
