    OK are any of you that are like me who love the RGB LED screen, getting tempted by the two 580gtx's in the M18x? I may just have to sell this computer but I don't know if I could separate from my screen

    I love the RGB, definitely not tempted by the 580m though.

    just throw a couple 6970's in yours, and I'm sure the temptation will be gone
    I might even buy your 5870's to replace my 4870s =)

    How hard is it to instill the 6970's? If someone wants to help out I would gladly surrender my 5870's for a good offer :)

    The RGB screen has spoiled me :D. I can not stand any screen that is not RGB anymore. M18x not having a nice screen was a deal killer. My m17x still does everything I need it to do!

    I have no idea what they are even worth, and how hard would it be to get the 6970's from dell and install them?
