    Yellow is nice on the M17x. Seeing the yellow on black makes me want to mod one so the alienhead on the lid is actually the classic batman symbol haha

    I really like that LCD. It looks like an IPS panel almost, with it showing normal from this angle. What brand is that?

    Perhaps you should resize that... It's against Forum Rules to post large images.

    If Photobucket allows thumbnails, use that... Otherwise a mod will come along and just delete it. If you upload it with Imageshack (free upload, don't need account) you can resize it, and or use thumbnails.

    Love the Corsair 800D. When I was considering the whole laptop vs desktop thing, that would have been the case I would have bought.

    Looking terrific again!
    I'm currently wondering if I have enough money to buy one or two monitors, so I can have a sexy multi-display set-up. I think I'm gonna have to save some more :p
    My new set-up is almost done, I'm now struggling to hide all these wires >.>
    SO.MUCH.PERIPHERALS.!!!

    Here is my temp setup at work. I brought the beast out of retirement and finally got around to reformatting and am in the process of setting it up as a proper server.

    [​IMG]

    Nice list! I have one too but I know it wont be a reality anytime soon. :(


    The fish tanks scare me being over the computer and consoles. :eek:

    Love the XPS 1645!

    looks really good icecube! i'm a big fan of color matching my accessories to my laptop as well. :D

    i used to have those z-4's as well. i gave them to a buddy of mine cuz i upgraded to some klipsch promedia 2.1's. i kinda miss how sleek those z-4's look sometimes though.

    thanks! i actually didn't notice everything was black until i looked at the picture, haha. but i think black is a nice, discrete color for electronic gadgets.

    i'm sure the sound quality and bass is better and more powerful on the klipsch, though. i agree though, the Z4's are sweet looking and is very good, especially for the price.

    This is my desk setup for watching films and gaming:
    [​IMG]

    Above you have my M15X (specs in sig), and my 32" Samsung flatscreen TV (full HD).

    Below you have my rare white PS3 and original Xbox 360 (I don't play it any more). I personally imported the PS3 from Tokyo, lol the people in the official Sony store wouldn't sell me one because they knew I could triple my investment. The mouse is a knock-off Sidewinder (link in sig), and the mouse pad is the Razer Sphex skin.

    [​IMG]

    I know it all looks incredibly messy, but that's because I'm just hording devices for university. I won't be taking my TV, just the laptop and a sound system I just ordered (will post pictures of new setup when it arrives). I really like my temporary setup, it's efficient and I don't really need the desk space for anything else at the moment :).

    This is my lazy setup for chilling in the evenings:
    [​IMG]

    So I can use the Sphex skin I place it on top of the Alienware mouse mat that came with the machine, it works really well and allows me to have the texture of the Sphex with the thickness of a good mouse mat. If anyone can see a way to make my setup better then please post! :).
