Looking forward to Steam big picture mode but this machine is the best way to play Skyrim, Darksiders 2 on a big screen with a 360 controller.

You know it recently went into beta, right? I just found out about it earlier today and literally just switched Steam to install betas and updated.

Someone needs to jump on that Alienware. I've got one almost identical but with just the 560m video card and it runs great, I imagine the crossfire setup should run the big titles maxed out. Quiet, awesome screen, and it manages to get impressive battery life for being a desktop replacement laptop.

I love my M18x.. I just replaced it with a new M18x R2 with Dual GTX 680M's. But this model is still a beast.. I use it in my living room to connect and play on my HDTV.

No mess or noise.. and best of all its wife friendly as you can disconnect it with a single HDMI cable and stick it in a drawer.

How does it do, heat-wise? My m11x r3 is a heat monster, if it's not on a laptop cooler.

This isnt a laptop that you would need a cooler for.. its massive.. you arent using this on your lap or anything like that.. its got considerable cooling so it never has that revving up noise like the M11x and M14x have..

That's one of the reasons I ended up with the m18x. It's an open design with a couple, or probably three in Guru's, big fans. It's easy for them to move some air but they're silent under casual use and really not bad under full load. This is from someone who has been focused on building silent PCs for over a decade. The trade off of course is that it's a thick laptop.

...but not really good for lap use, I assume? I do all my PC gaming from the couch nowadays. (I have one of those lap desks w/a USB-powered fan)

That's exactly how I use mine. I have a standard lap desk, one of the big ones for this laptop :D, and it works great. I either mouse on the laptop itself or on a book or something on the couch beside me. I promise I'm not Guru's shill, I'm just happy with the laptop. I really like the illuminated keyboard and macro keys as well.

I used to use my 17" laptop on a flat TV tray at my couch. It was great. Moved things to a table when our daughter was born, though.

Serious question - anyone have a 360 copy of Darksiders they want to get rid of on the cheap?

Still looking - hoping for under 10$ shipped.

Edit - Hell, I will give it back - i just want to run through real quick:)

Have a few organs to sell. Almost 41 years old with acceptable wear. Eyes are 20/20, lungs have not inhaled first-hand smoke, hands aren't arthritic. Brain? That'll probably go on Craigslist. I'll provide a link.

Looking to trade for capable current- or last-gen gaming rig. Single-display system is perfectly suitable.

Would prefer not to separate items but instead trade all together.

Got a ASUS 32GB Transformer TF101 with the keyboard dock/battery. No screen scratches, minor scrapes and nicks around the edges and data ports. Bought this from MonoCheli a little over a year ago, but my wife just isn't into it like she thought she would be. Looking for $250 + shipping (I can get a great rate through UPS via my employer).

I can attest that it was a wonderful tablet when I had it and I treated it nicely.

Thank you kindly.

I have an extra Steam copy of Orcs Must Die 2. Looking to trade it for something around the same price. Would do a even trade for FTL if anyone is interested. Let me know!

Sale pending locally.

Hey guys, I am selling my original Apple iPad. It was the top of the line spec, 64GB with Wifi + 3G. It has been in a case from day one and is in excellent condition. No marks that I see, no scratches, etc. I am including the original black Apple case and a custom made quilted leather Vaja case. The case was for my wife when she took over the iPad so it is a pinkish light purple and being leather it has a little bit of wear around the corners on the back but still looks great. If you don't want it you could probably sell the case for a few bucks, it cost almost $200 new if I remember right.

I have the original box and all original accessories. I am selling for $275 which includes USPS priority mail shipping. If anyone is interested let me know and we can work out the paypal details.

Selling a Logitech G930 headset. I bought it August 5th and it's only been used 4 or 5 times total. It comes with the wireless usb station, driver cd, and headset. It retails for 110.99 at Amazon and I'm selling it for $85.00 $80.00 shipped UPS. PM me if you're interested.

I can also provide pictures on request.

$80.00 shipped UPS ground. Someone please buy this so I don't have to put it on.....ebay. *gasp*

I still have this headset for $80. I meant to put it on ebay but got too lazy. Someone buy this thing, it's practically brand new and it's $100 if you buy it from Amazon.

Desktop is sold.. Still have the Alienware M18x for sale.. will wait a few more days before it goes on Craigslist...

edit

Also noticed I had a typo on the M18x I have for sale.. it has dual 6990M 2GB video cards.. not 6970M's

More shaders, and faster core and ram clocks and more memory bandwidth.

I think this will work...if anyone knows or thinks contrary, please let me know:

Guild Wars 2 + Brady strategy guide - $50ppd. Will change the email account to yours (download the client and play right away) and ship the goodies to you. Will leave the toons and give you the choice to keep or delete.

Blazed through about 60% of the game with one profession and have no time or interest to take it anywhere else.

Thanks!

Anyone looking for Borderlands 2 on Steam?

@ScurvyDog - check the EULA but selling or transferring an account is probably against the rules,

I don't think he's talking about selling an account, but rather a redemption code for the game.

My Heatware. I'm not averse to a trade for a Steam game/code or 360/XBLA games, depending on the game. Buy multiple items = S&H is cheaper. If you have something else for trade, PM me your offer.

Except for the Serenity tpb as noted below, everything else is in perfect condition. Bought them, read them once, never again.

Halo: Helljumper $10 + S&H

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier $10 + S&H

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Volume I $10 + S&H

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Volume II $10 + S&H

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century: 1910 $10 + S&H

Serenity: Those Left Behind $5 + S&H. Stain is on the outside cover only, possible it comes off easy, just haven't tried.

Land of the Damned EP from Handful of Snowdrops. Incredible album, just not worth my holding onto it. $20 shipped.

reread it.
Changing the email address on the account and leaving existing characters from the 60 hours he played.

The fan bearings on my video card conveniently failed on the day Borderlands 2 came out, so I was forced to run out and get a new GTX 680 card (yes, poor me).

The card came with a code for Borderlands 2 (PC version), so I'm selling it for $40 UPDATE: Pending sale

Also, if anyone is looking for a cheap videocard upgrade and are enterprising enough to put on an aftermarket video card cooler, I can sell the card for $55 (shipping included). Its a Diamond Radeon 5870, which still works great for most games on the market. You could either just try oiling the bearings http://www.dansdata.com/fanmaint.htm or getting something like this: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12017/vid-155/Zalman_VF3000A_Dual_92mm_EBR_Bearing_VGA_Cooler_-_Blue_LED_ATI_Radeon_5800_Series_ZM-VF3000A.html?tl=g40c21#blank

Yeah, sorry, I misread your reply. Thought you were referring to indy's offer for the Borderlands 2 code. Guess that's what I get for my filthy skimming.

So deleting the character and changing the account would be ok?

In general, part of the TOS(not to beconfused with the shrink wrap EULA which aren't largely enforceable) you sign when you play states that you won't sell/share/trade the account. So, not really.

Yeah, if ArenaNet finds out, the account will be banned.

Still available, Logitech G13, marked down to $35 shipped. A bargain!

Fair enough - thanks for the input guys. GW2 Strategy guide still available for $15 ppd.

Dropped the M18x to $1400.. will let it sit for a few days before posting it for sale to the unwashed non-GWJ'er websites.

The 550 PC is back for sale as well.. buyer had to back out! So its back on sale and I dropped it to $1600.. Hopefully it will end up in a good GWJ home..
