    there are tons of configuration of m17x on the first 2 pages if you can just put in a little effort of yourself to browse around.

    Yea I have to agree with those 2. You could simple just use the search feature to see all of the posts. What I think you were trying to say however is that you were wondering what spec'ed systems people have. Should have titled it.

    "M17x Owners Lounge (Post Specs)" or something like that because what you're saying isn't too clear to me. By the way may I ask how old you are as I have a feeling you are pretty young and have a huge amount of money to spend which is pretty nice.

    Like everyone has said so far, your question is a little ambigious really. If you want a basic m17x then you'll not pay too much, like Mennenth has now, a biasic system but a good one to upgrade should he wish too.

    IF, you've got no issues with the cost then tick all the boxes, wait a few months longer and you;ll have a very powerful system...

    It might be a good idea if you phrase your questions better for the future...just a suggestion (",)

    I just want someone to buy it with the Extreme (2.8GHz) processor so we know if there's downclocking issues or not... see if the large case improves the cooling

    This thread is not going anywhere . . . closed.

    There are several threads going on the m17x, order status, etc.
