Show me your Alienware setup

hey guys as the title sound i want you to post picture of your alienware setup. i like new, diffrent and cool setups so please leave a comment with a picture of your setup. !

ps. i just bought an m18x r2 (one of the few last ones from dell phew !) and i want to make an awesome setup so especially laptop setups are wanted

 

There was an actual thread somewhere that we were all posting our pictures in. Can't remember what we called it though...

 

couldn't find it so thought why not make one but it didn't turn out very well.......

 

This was my first setup with my m11x


Then I moved up to a full 21.5 inch optx screen


I got a x51 and switched things up a bit. I moved my main desk into storage and pulled my mobile gaming desk out.


Then I picked up another optx lcd


Then I picked up another screen


I dont have my current setup pictured, but its triple screen on the x51, then the desk is extended out and has a m14x, m17x, and 2 m11x's

 

i LOVE your setups ! really cool thank you so much that number 2 picture is so cool! and also the trip monitors !

i currently have a m11x with and alienware optx aw2210 monitor but the m11x is.. dying.. so it's at the dell service which right now is an hell =/
but good news ! my m18x r2 with dual 675 in sli and i7 XM processor will come august the 3th.

again thank you for the pictures !

 

Oh man, I bet your excited for your rig to arrive, that's a massive setup up from an M11X, You better be upgrading your GPUS down the track, otherwise you'll have me on your tail hahaha.

Here's a photo of what i had setup roughly 3-4 months ago.
I used each one for seperate needs,



the monitor on the left was for music and viewing downlods.
the monitor on the top was for monitoring temperatures
monitor on left was movie watching and gaming, which was uncomfortable, so i made a modification to my desk accordingly
and the laptop's screen itself was used mainly for browsing.

In the last week I optioned for major upgrades - 3 external dell 30 inch IPS monitors and have set this up being powered from a M17X R4 in eyefinity, until my crossfired 7970m arrives , so excited!

that is a nice setup how is the laptop running the 3 30inch monitors? i know the m18x and m17x are powerfull computers but that is a demanding tasks even for desktops..

man i'm so excited ! i like the old m18x better than the new ones..... and i am going to buy dual 780s when possible (atleast that's the plan) so i will have the performance of one titan GFX (sli 780m = one titan) atleast that's what i've heard and that really would keep my m18x future proof !
7970 is insane 2 ! i'm more into nvidia since i also like to keep the laptop cool and a fact is that amd uses more power and they may very well be stronger but also they are hotter i'm gonna OC my m18x

woops... my grammar apparently sucks.. and i was talking about the third picture not the second ^^ excuse me.

 

I know, I'm really surprised I was able to getting it work well; I had to end up using a feature called daiychaining though which is essentially a method of the computer being able to detect a display which is connected directly to another monitor without a direct connection to the computer itself.

I do prefer the older design as well so hahaha, you're not alone. Nebula red or Space black?

 

i got this m18x pretty cheap so it was only in nebula red but i actually prefer the space black ah i'm so glad that you are with me everybody is like ''ermahgerd the new design is much better hurrdurr'' the only thing i want is the new screen thingy thingy.. you know the new design on the back of the screen XD... and yes haswell is awesome and 780 is nice but i still prefer the old then.. plus the chipset for the 3rd gen Intel processors can handle many future gfx ! and the cpu it self while last for a while.. especially with the OC ability. now i just need the asetek water cooling XD !

the eyefinity setup is cool i had it once but i didn't like it that much so.. going single monitor. (=
i am very suprised the laptop GFX could handle it tho.. must be some cons? like a pretty much lower fps.?

i've got a nice deal on this used m17x r3 which is really cheap i am considering buying it 2 and the use it for editing stuff (i'm studying to become a engineer) but i dunno ^^ the r3 is using 2 gen intel processors and i really want an more portable like m15x or m14x (m15x has the mxm gfx so it can be upgraded) maybe you can give me some advice i know fo sure my m18x will be too heavy for going to school with it (starting at 5.5 kg...) but what about the m17x ?? (=

thx in advance

 

Is it this one by any chance?

that's awesome even tho i was thinking more about alienwares
but thanks !

 

Good find but it was a different one in either the Alienware or Alienware 18 section.

 

How is this for awesomeness my m18x on a custom mad stand next to my 30 inch high res dell .I have 2x580m in sli and 2x256 ssd temps 40 to 60 range on cards and I run the computer for 12 hours a day at least gaming, videos, working and playing

 

That is cool!! How did you make the stand???

 

was feeling depressed and lazy and didn't really wanna get outta bed so I did this. XD

Spoiler

Some mobile location set ups ive done with my m14 and super m17x

 

Depressed!?

Well it's cool but i Will Never take my m18x in the bed ^^ simply because i can't sit comfortably Like that
But the red color is pretty cool @.@ ! The stickers tho.. Not so much just my opinion..

 

Just gonna leave this photo here...

 

Oooh.
What a Nice mod !
Is it a m17x??

 

stickers....what?

 

Looks like a air brush job..nice Like the green also both way to go systems.

 

Here is my setup from a few months back. Will post new pictures after new desk arrives in a few days.

 

He's referring to the transfer attached to the lid of your M17x.

 

I'm going to have to put some serious work into my next setup, at the moment I have a crummy tiny glass desk with a tiny 19" second display lol.

 

That's not a sticker. its a cured vinyl decal.

Its a vinyl printed sheet that's cured to the laptops surface.

Not something that's just peel and stick.

 

Anyway i'm sorry but i really thought it was a sticker and no matter what it is i do not Think it looks cool but it's your computer and you Like it so don't care about me

 

I am tempted to get a design laser etched into my next machine

 

Sounds Nice ^^

 

Decided to get a family photo of the laptops. Out of the three, I think the m14xr2 has the best screen.

 

Not bad, but according to your signature you're missing a family member or two.

 

Yeah, in the last picture you can see the bottom cover of the 2nd m11x in the top left corner

Next day I have some time I will move the extended family to a single desk for a photo.

 

I like that all your computers are black while all mine are either red or orange.

 

One of the m11xs is white
It has a name plate on the bottom that says aperture science.

It was my portal tribute computer.

But after 2 years of my wife using it, the finish is not so great anymore. Its all scratched and scuffed up. I need to order a full new set of parts for it to make it new and clean again.

 

Waiting for my RED m18x ^^ but the Black is good with every alienfx colour.. The red version dosn't fit that Well with all alienfx

 

That would explain the cover you mentioned. Never seen white before.

 

It looked super nice when I first did it, but the wife is not too gentle with her computers, so its pretty banged up now.

I kinda want to strip the white and do a camo paint job, but I think in the end I will just get new black covers for it.

Just for the fun of it, I turned on all 3 laptops at the same time to see who was the fastest.
m11xr1 with a m4 ssd booted up the fastest, m17xr4 with wd black raids was the slowest. m14xr2 with a msata cache was in the middle. So, I need to put a cache drive into the m17xr4, cause it was painfull to watch the m11x and m14x boot up, start programs and be ready while the m17xr4 was still in the welcome screen for windows.

 

<3

 

Talk about laptop Heaven..nice..

 

I would love to get a sentia 13, am15x, a m18x and a malx (19 inch) Just so I have the full range of sizes

But first I need to beef up my desktop line. I need to get ahold of a aurora and a area 51 alx... even if its just the cases.

 

The razer logo is a Shame but Nice White m11x How did you do it ?

 

It actually looks more like one of the Lunar Silver bodies, I think. The sheen from the light is making it look lighter than it really is.

 

I love Razer mice, I absolutely love the naga mic.

And its a lunar shadow chassis, not white...

Is everyone color blind or something?
Someone thought my M14X was pink, and now someone else asks If my m11X is white? XD

 

Lol, we have nearly the same pile of laptops

 

Didn't see 1 of these started already so here we go, always good to have a dedicated place where everyone can share and discuss their Alienware Battle Station!
Here's mine. Note the ghetto shims under the monitor stand. That's actually a really nice keyboard, Cherry MX. That's not bad LCD backlight on the Dell, just glare from the camera BUT ironically enough you can see the backlight bleed on my AW 18.

 

Looks like it works well, Brother Rick. Nothing wrong with using lumber for a worthy cause.

 

Nice setup man, that's the u3011 right? What do you think of it?

 

If only...it's a U2410 and though not without its quirks it's been great where it counts (image quality). The way my eyesight is headed a 30 is next for sure! Well maybe a 27 as I don't want to go past native 19x12, being a gamer.

 

Oh really? It looks tons bigger than a 24 inch being setup next to the 18 haha.

With 780'S in SLI you shouldn't have any problems running at 2560x1600! I was running it with ease on the 680's with no OC

I'll upload some screenies of my setup later, got eyefinity working off an m18x ^^

 

1 680m is enough to run most things with playable FPS on a 30'' hp monitor, i.e 3k res like 2560x1600... I know, because I do so myself.. now 780m's...will be roughly 25-40% higher FPS, and if you have SLI and the profiles for whatever your running to support it, your can up some options and get roughly same fps but better visual quality.

680m with maxed out stats in skyrim for instance, and max out in the witcher2 I get 60/15 fps... no SLI profile/ i.e 1 780m only , I get 22fps in the witcher2 maxed out. SLI'd 24 fps.
skyrim becomes unimportant, as with v-sync on I never go below 60(flashing 60/59)

 

Hey come on brothers post some battle stations, mine is embarrassing compared to the mancaves some of you have setup!

 

Ready to pawn
