your M17x r3 Set up:)

Post pictures guys!

Here's mine:



I have several peripherals:

1. cooler master ergostand
2. das keyboard (very nice to type on; love the clicky sound)
3. my cheap logitech m510
4. another cheapo gamepad works well though.

 

Cool setup. I haven't any piccys but I have a Roccat Kova [+] mouse. I love that thing, performs great and has the same texture as the Soft Touch finish.

I use the standard Alienware Mouse Mat. And for a cooler/stand, I haven't decided but either a book, or this:
Belkin : Laptop CoolStrip

 

nice

am planning to buy razer mamba soon my set up would be perfect then.lol

 

Was never a fan of Razers. Perhaps a bit too hardcore for me. Plus I like the customizable lights on the Kova[+]

 

kova is good but i need a very good wireless gaming mouse.

 

Logitech G700?

 

i was considering that too but when i tried it in one of our local stores i did not the feel of it too bad coz its cheaper than mamba.

my setup atm

m17x r3 teamed up with a razer mamba and logitech g13 and some remains of my old eyefinity setup.

just need to get a lil displayport to minidisplay port adaptor to see if the r3 is also capable of eyefinity. wich it should be capable using the hdmi,vga and mini displayport.

using a coolermaster u2 cooler i believe atm

 

wow nice set up you have here!

 

Here's mine,kept it simple.

 

The G700 is a lot like the MX1000 and MX1100 in terms of grip style with a nice area for the thumb to rest.

Input devices can be particularly tricky in finding the appropriate one.

I'm not exactly happy with the G700, very short battery life as wireless, just a few hours which seems kinda pointless.

The button placement is a bit off and they don't allow you to completely disable the buttons so one wrong move and you can actually knock yourself out of a game. I'm sure there must be a way around this but haven't played around with it too much yet.

I like the grip, I have a large hand so the mouse is comfortable.

Razer mice were nice, I've had several in the past but after a few years they were all toast.

I like that vespula mouse pad, how is it working out for you?

I have an old steel series mousepad that is wearing down after about 4 years of constant use.The grip on the mousepad is insane and the texture is great.

You might want to look into that RAT mouse I was thinking about it before I got a 50% logitech coupon which made my decision for me.

Not sure if it's the RAT 7 or 9

Expensive but from the customization it looks like it might be excellent but again these things are all great ideas until they're in your hands and it feels uncofmortable, or you just hate it lol.

 

I have ordered the Cryo LX and the g700! Waiting for them to arrive.
And the QcK+ mat. Since it is 17"+ it can double as a protective screen guard between screen and keyboard when closed!
Looking to get this screen protector

Hey shinob! Which speakers are you using? They look cool!!
And what is that on the extreme right? Sorry, am too curious!

 

@Chaos92,they are actually 2.1 speakers called Harman Kardon soundsticks III,the extreme right jelly-fish looking thing is the subwoofer.Sound quality is excellent,highly recommended.

 

connected to an external monitor

 

Love my Razer Mamba. Gonna buy another one before they go out of stock or are discontinued!!

 

Here's mine ...
-Notepal Infinite EVO (3 USB 2 ports)
-Logitech speakers and subwoofer (a great and neccessary investement considering the r3's speaker quality...)
-External docking bay BLACX Thermaltake plugged in eSATA
-External USB 3.0 My Book 2TB for constant back up
-Microsoft xbox 360 receiver for windows (little white thing btw right speaker and laptop from our POV)
-xbox 360 controller (daa)
-Microsoft intel mouse USB 3.0
-HOTAS Cougar and its throttle (bottom left for throttle)
-Saitek's throttle quadrant (just above the other throttle... in the bottom left with the 3 levers.)
-CH Pro Pedals!
-Bose quiet comfort 15 (What else ?!)

 

Lot's of nice set-ups! Here's how mine looks at the moment

 

wow very nice!

Alienware m17x making your desk look awesome regardless of whatelse is on it ;p ^^

 

My god...the only words that comes to my mind is...M17x SHRINE

 

Bit messy with wiress and all, from other comp, but that is it.

Spoiler

 

why do you have two monitors?

 

Mainly because my m17x became my main system for gaming. I use my other computer for other entertainment. Usually a stream or movie or something on 1 monitor, the second might be for browsing the internet for how to craft something or beat the next part of a game if I am having trouble with... or otherwise just pull up a web site for whatever as I game on the m17x.

My laptop sadly beats my desktop atm for performance ;/

Desktop is a Q9400, 8GB DDR2-800, GTX 260. I am wondering if it would be worth putting a GTX 580 in he desktop... not sure if the CPU would be a major slow down... maybe I should just wait awhile and look at a complete replacement tower in the future dunno.

 

LoL, yeah just wanted to throw it all at once xD for the picture It is a small desk though !!!! but I like it.

 

Guys use spoilers for large pics or the mods could close thread.

 

Not an R3, but here is my R2 setup. Pics are too big for spoilers, since I included the high-res versions. I edited the links to be direct links, so as to not brink up the imageshack page.


Eventually where my Kindle and M11x R1 are sitting, I will have an external monitor. Just havn't gotten around to getting one yet.

 

very nice computer desk you have there is that an m14x sleeping on the sideline?lol

 

nice. am planning to buy an external display do you have any recommendation?

 

thanks! and don't worry the helmet is actualy there for no reason except to hide my xbox power brick haha!

thanks for the nice comments everyone!

 

Thanks, it's an M11x R1. Ordered the week they came out. Makes a nice web browser for the couch M17x R2 stays on the desk for the most part. If you noticed, I even have it locked to the desk, with a cable lock. (left side back). Figure it will just make it harder for thieves. They want it the outta work for it

 

Well I decided to bump a thread becuase I just got a new, smaller desk. I was moving my system from the old room to the dining area. I had to move my computer desk this past weekend out of the old room because the room is now becoming a nursery. Anyway, my old setup is at the top of the page, but I'll repost them here. Looks like imageshack shrank the old pics. Oh well.

Old Setup:









New Setup:




I have a bunch of extra HDDs (back left) connected for backups and such through a USB HUB under the desk. Trying to keep things neat. I hope to replace all of them with a single 3TB External soon for backups. I also have a DVD burner as well as a Blu-ray burner behind the system on the right. Also an all in one card reader with a few extra USB ports which are handy for thumb drives.

 

Look very nice man. Small space but very efficient.
