    Figured I would show off the m17x r2 with the 580m in it, runs extremely well, temps are awesome, which is very surprising. Check it out and let me know what you think. And yes I understand that I'm Boring :p

    Thought I would note I found a instant cure to the m17x battery issue of it not charging, it has to do with the stealth mode, kinda threw me for a loop but just something i found that might be useful

    when you have it unplugged you accidently press the stealth button which disables the battery charging some how, no idea why but thats what mine does... odd but interesting turn stealth mode off while plugged in and the charging comes back on every time, tried it like 4 times and it worked like a charm

    Thanks for the info. If you look around the forums, there is a way of disabling the stealth mode once and for all :) Just a little app.
