    @Heur - Good point.

    The only other options are M15x or open a thread in the Alienware forum.
    Just thought it may decrease the volume of M14x information in the M11xR3 thread.
    I'm sure the Moderator can close the thread or move it. They're good like that.
    In hindsight the Alienware forum may have been a better place... oh well.

    Hmm, not bad. Would rather an M15x if the chassis dimentions are negligible.
