    While Ill agree for the lower half, the screen portion is way too thick and feels and looks cheap. I wish they could take my internals and put it in a new XPS case. Honestly Id settle for either a thinner screen, or at least a non cheapo plastic screen. But other then that the SXPS 16 does look pretty nice. :)

    Everything but the window bay (I wanted a more custom look), paint (I wanted a somewhat pewter grey with a accent stipe across the room), and the pillow pet :p, were my idea. I always liked interior designing since I was young, but alas it is my accounting degree that pays the bills :D We tried to repurpose and reuse most of our stuff from our previous room and the only thing that was added was the desk, curved floor lamp, and white book case, which all totaled for less than $100. We use to do our all our work on the bed with breakfast trays lol so the desk is a big upgrade and mess reducer. Luckily for her, I like a clean room regardless so she is always welcomed to the room in this state no matter how much of a mess she try's to make lol. As much as I am starting to grow accustomed to the paint I am dead set on changing it by fall to something less pastel. Thanks for all the nice comments :)

    I need to reorganize my room, but there is no space. Everything is exactly where it can go, and nothing can move or it doesn't fit.

    a lot of monitors are nice, no offense but what about your lousy cabling and what about a bit of cleaning and arranging you hardware that it looks nice and is ergonomic??? because at least for me it looks like randomly hardware put together without a plan and any cable management

    Haha, I got the silver coz black was a bit boring and red was a bit to out there, when I took it out of its box it was love a first sight :D
    I find the the silver just adds a bit of something

    Yeh I like those headphones the tactx mouse is also good.
    If I did move the caravan I would pack it all up (way to risky) but at the moment its parked out the back of my uncles on blocks with wheels missing which is ok because I'll be studying for a few years yet

    I only got black because the silver reminded me too much of a Mac, and my previous alienware was a silver as you can see in the Pics, and I wanted something different. Had red been free I would have gone with that, because at their cost I can just buy the red panels from a Reseller at the same price and have both :) and just switch out from to time based on my mood :p
