The Machine came installed with Vista and one 7950gtx enabled, from this out of the box setup i had a 3dmark 06 score of 6,214
Time was to get Xp onto it and see the full power, had a little trouble getting xp on without a usb floppydrive but managed it by adding the RAID drivers to the XP CD. This is currently installing and will post a host of benchmarks once i have it up and running later.
Now for the pictures of the lovely machine: (also please forgive any bad pictures im not sure what others would like to see, any requests and ill do my best)
I was handed over 2 plain looking boxes from my DHL man, i was very excited



In the 1st "lighter" box was my Alienware bag (after checking the bag I LOVE IT !! it only JUST fits the m9750 in but its well protected and theres lots of space for your bits and bobs) also my alienware mug



Inside the bag was my ozma 5 headphones, razer mouse and my zen mp3 player



In the 2nd box i was greeted by another box, WHAT FUN !



Were getting warmer ! within that box was a smaller black box and the VERY well packaged m9750



Unwrapped - The lovely m9750 and the box with power adapter, func pad, cd wallet and the tshirt which Kirsty will love im sure



The func pad, i used to have a func 1030 in orange and blue when i used to play CS in csgn league and this one feels more stable, i like it alot.



The power brick, not TOO big, bit heavy bit it could be alot worse






The Ozma 5 Headphones, ive tried these a bit, they are very comphy and have some awsome sound and carry the bass well, perfect for long nights of gaming when Kirsty is in bed . Also i think they look pretty hot !!












The CD wallet, nothign too special, doesnt fit many cd's in, it mainly just holds your manual.






The Razer Diamondback mouse, not tried this yet, it also glows red once on too wooooooo, Currently i use a Logitech mx700 for gaming, we will see how the razer does.






Pictures with our 15" compaq presario 2100







And now Various m9750 shots:






























As i said XP is installing now and ill get some scores of it running with both grpahics cards going, all in all it is AMAZING !!

Nice review and thanks for all the pics!

Hey James, I was wondering if you would tell me what you think of the Ozma 5 headphones. Can you compare them to any other great headphones? Are they worth the money you spent or do you think you can get better sounding headphones for the price you payed for the Ozma 5. After listening to the sound quality would you spent an extra $100 for the Ozma 7 headphones?

If you know where I can get a good review please let me know. It's hard to find one.
