    and no, this isn't staged in any way, that's what my desk really does look like sometimes... :D

    Nah, have a mod change the title of your thread to XMas lights in September. It will be a refreshing change and first Christmas thread of the year. lol

    Quick question regarding the morphing etc.

    Does using the morphine feature use more resources than normal and/or enough to affect gaming?

    Nice setup! That is some high-end equipment.

    I agree with a comment I read earlier in these forums - the m15x just isn't the m15x without the lights. I always had those lights on when I was reviewing it, couldn't stand it when they were off.

    i highly doubt that morphing will take up too much of the processing power. i think it takes the same amount. Even with morphing or a solid color if you go to task manager and take a look at the AlienFX controller it seems to always be around the same number.
