    would a 17" from M17x fit? (since M15x almost as big as the M17x)

    lol unit size they are about the same but your talking about a 15" screen gap to a 17" screen, so i would think that it wouldnt work unless you dont mind having abit of the screen being non-visible

    It's easy buy the PSU and plug it in and then go into the bios disable the PSU warning.
