    So I just ordered my m11x on 5/9 and I am very excited but I also have a problem, I ordered it with the 160gb hdd, but changed my mind and now want the 250. Would it be worth the time to cancel and reorder the machine? It is allready in production and some of the stories about when you change your order and how they mess things up have me worried about calling to change, thanks for any info in advance.

    Best thing you can do is call and check. Might also want to consider buying an HDD from newegg.com

    I was going to call this morning but I have been looking at other machines also so I haven't decided, I am a wow player and I think it would be smarter to get a weaker GPU and a stronger CPU, only other thing I would do is old roms and movies. Any suggestions for a solid smaller wow gaming machine anybody?

    From one WoW player to another.

    I have been playing WoW on my M11x and it runs anywhere from 30-50 FPS.
    I have no problems with it at all. You will be impressed with the M11x. I now I still am :D

    Can I ask what settings you have for that? I'm looking to buy the m11x (finally) this month and I want to best prepare myself for what I can expect from WoW as it's what I play the majority of the time.

    Expect to play WoW on high-ultra settings on the Classic and TBC content.. for some reason the M11x struggles to achieve consistent frame-rates in Northrend/Dalaran - anywhere between 20-60fps (especially Holwling Fjord), because of this i run a mixture of med-high (30-60fps) and i honestly don't see a noticable difference in graphics quality.
