    I can't tell if it's the r-3 bezel or not :(

    hmm that bezel might not fit :( according to the alienware site the r-3 has a 17.3 inch screen. According to that website you found the bezel on, its a 17.0 inch, so it might be for the r-2 I don't know.

    No that is for the M17x R1 and 2. The M17x R3 has it's own section. It won't fit.

    well to change the screen atm in the m17x-r3 you gotta ruin the current screen and cut it off the bezel. I don't wanna risk having to buy a whole new screen assembly since we can't find spare bezels :( as to getting the screen of the r-3, I'm gonna have a free walkthough from the tech replacing my current screen in about and hour or 2 :D
