    After years of wanting an Alienware, I finally got one. I'm glad that I decided to purchase one. Here's a short video of the light show feature using Winamp. It's pretty easy to do and took less than 3 minutes, pretty sweet. Check it out:

    I'm sure it will. The first thing I'd do with it is turn the lights off and watch the light show haha

    Congrats! I love the m14x R2, it's a lot smaller in real life than it looks on the web.

    Next mod I'm going to do is buy a hard drive caddy from ebay and put a second 1tb hard drive in it. So, it will have:

    • 64gb msata = windows 8 pro
    • 1tb hdd = data drive (my docs, my pix, my music, etc)
    • 1tb hdd = moving Program Files, pagefile.sys on this one & loading a ton of movies!

    It will be one tiny entertainment powerhouse! Eat your heart out Macbook Pro!
