Doesn't say UEFI in msinfo32. I switched it to legacy in order to be able to detect the DVD, etc initially. Tried a few sets of instructions from google plus your link but still having trouble getting Windows 7 installed on UEFI. Secure boot won't work for Windows 7. I don't want Windows 8 until I have no choice in the matter, so I'll probably only go with the new OS next machine upgrade (in a year or two).

Anyway, don't have a second machine to hold me off while I try so I just installed Windows 7 like normal on legacy. I'll go back once I have some time. I had to put the stock hard drives back in and the stock ram and the Dell delivery fellas are coming tomorrow to pick the box up. Lucky I didn't get rid of the stock items.

Because I had to give up the M17xR4, I have 2x8GB (2x) of ram for sale, it'll work on the older generation of the alienware machines that don't have a lower voltage requirement.

CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10, 2x8GB DDR3, 1.5V, 1600Mhz, 10-10-10-27.

What a waste, let me know if anyone is interested? Sells new for RM519++ but it'll be significantly cheaper since it's used and has a lifetime warranty.

yeah.. in order to boot from other than the hdd, you will need to enable legacy. when i have some new disks i will test to see if i can get it worked, too.

what a waste for those ram's :/ well.. if you want, i can sapu.

Sure thing man, please sapu the ram

thanks a lot good stuff. running flawlessly

horns Ic ic.... I totally forgot about that... Wah, u help ppl to sapu stuff. Sapu mine also. XD

all gone crazy already :/ for the warranty part, i think the best option for now is the illegear route.

Aiks, how you know I'm crazy? 

Yeah, if it was officially I wouldn't hesitate getting one. What a shame!

Best thing to do is to confirm with US I think, since the warranty originates from there. If we're talking illegear. Have to see if can extend to 2-3 years if not it's really worthless.

Singapore I'm guessing can get a complete cover type warranty.

so when is Alienware 20 coming up?

that, my friend, needs a trolley bag :/ it's portable but i think i don't wanna drag it around.

Btw, how often do you guys actually carry around your alien?
