    Hi Gamers,

    I am planning to purchase the new m17xR3 soon and I cannot decide on the color? Red or Black?

    Can M17xR3 owners post up some real pictures in black model for me?

    Thanks a bunch

    The show off thread should have some nice pictures for you to check out. You might start at the end of the thread and work your way back though.

    edit: Scratch that, the beginning of the thread is pretty good.

    Choose red so I can get my black M17x faster :D







    Just kidding, get black! It looks sexier imo... since black matches any backlighting color you might choose ^^

    For me, black's nice and all, but red is really gorgeous without being over-the-top.

    One advantage with the black is that it hides wear and tear. I personally like the red better though.

    Still around, hanging in the off topic section mostly. Also there is a 99.99% chance my next system won't be an Alienware so I'm not posting much here.
