    Hey guyz,

    Is there any way to obtain a bottom panel for the R3? It seems that the stock one was poorly designed, as there are no vent holes for the ram/hdd. I was thinking of doing what alot of MSI owners did to their GX-series lappies, drilling holes into the bottom panel. I don't want to do it with this one, so was wondering if there was somehow I could buy/get another bottom panel?

    quite a few of these short answer q's belong/can be answered in the owners lounge thread.

    Please help where possible - lots of activity with the new models.

    I know the forum search feature is a bit wonky, but try using google to search:

    ----> google.com ---->site:forum.notebookreview.com/alienware -insert search term-

    when adding your search term, dont use - -. lol

    thanks.
