    ok guys. Just uploaded a few pics from the camera to the computer. I know there hasn't been any pics today, so I am trying to help NBR peeps out. Everyone is playing with their new toy! I am running prime95 right now to test my OC at 3.06 ghz while I do this :)

    I opened the box, and took multiple shots with 2 different lenses for you guys. I hope you at least give me some +rep for the effort :).

    You know I realize you're hyped and want to show off your own M17x but these pics/benchmarks should all be consolidated in the owner's lounge thread. That's why every notebook has one of those threads created.

    it is not that loud. You hear the fans roar starting up, but then kind of settle into a low "whoosh" once it gets going. Not annoying at all for all the gear it has inside.

    Phinagle- Things gets lost in the shuffle with a 500 page thread. Seeing that I am the only person posting pics right now, and using a nice camera..cut me some slack. I am here posting this for everybody here instead of playing with my 4k laptop I just bought.

    When things die down it'll be the owner's lounge that continually gets bumped while threads like this will be lost.

    exactly.

    I think the people should create different threads to share their pictures and reviews. Those other threads are already too long and these posts will be lost in couple of hours.

    if it's a general comment about M17x then it should be in that official thread.

    Allright... let's get technical :rolleyes:

    His post with pictures etc would get lost in the owners thread because we would all comment on how nice his system is and ask questions.

    Is that better???

    thanks man. I am just giving back to the community I have been a part of this past month. I know everyone wants one now, hopefully this will tide them over a bit. These are the best I could do in my home (office) with fluorescent lighting. Maybe I'll grab some more for you guys outside tomorrow.

    The pics should be added to the front of the Owner's Lounge. The first post should contain all the good info. At the very least, there should be a link to this thread in the first post of the Owner's Thread when this thread dies.

    Contact Whizzo, he has ownership of the first post of that thread.

    ok i have a few questions before you run some benchmarks

    can you reboot and go into the bios and take a screenshot of the your options?

    also can you please under your bios overclock tell us what options you have?

    i know 9.5 is 2.53
    11.5 is 3.06
    12 is 3.2
    12.5 is 3.33

    can you also pop the bottom open and take some pictures?

    also run hwmoniter in the back ground before anything


    can you update your drivers to 186.03 or 185.85 dox


    what os are you using????


    how is the screen quality.

    download dmc4 demo/ 3dmark vantage/ fear2 demo/
    these above all have built in benchmarks to get us an idea of where it stands. thanks.
