    Hi, I just ordered my M14x from HIDevolution and this is my specs:
    Soft Touch Stealth Black

    IC Diamond on CPU + GPU - INSTALLED BY HIDevolution
    1.5GB DDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M
    14.0" High Def+ (900p/1600x900)
    4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
    500GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s

    I'll get a Razer Mamba with it and a Razer Goliathus Control Edition Small for the Mouse mat.

    Hehe thanks, I hope so, and I hope that the IC diamond will fix the heat problem, I know it not heat too much but I'm a little paranoiac with this.

    I'm guessing HIDevolution have no way of providing you with a UK keyboard?

    xAtLx, mind telling me what you mean (being able to save over $200)? I'll most likely order my M14x this week, and this does sound incredibly interesting.

    Thanks

    Oh trust me, I've read that post quite a bit now; word on the street (slyly looks around) is that people on these forums have Dell reps they recommend and refer others to -- in order to get some good deals. I'm new to these forums, and this will be my first Alienware and first actual "nice" computer. Just trying to figure out how to best go about things!
