Anyone else seen this http://www.xoxide.com/imon-ultra-bay-black.html I am really interested in pics if anyone has it mounted in a P180 case. Note: I don't care about the functions of the unit (of which it has many) I just like it for the cool factor, and the fit and finnish are by far...

I am not an audiophile and these headphones are meant to be a gift for someone who is going to be using it with a DELL XPS laptop computer most of the time. Type of music is varied but mostly the person listens to techno(loud bass a must) and gamming and also the occasional voccal. I can get...

So I got my new M170 XPS this Tuesday. Dell shipped it way before what the site said and UPS delivered right on time. THe packaging was pretty standard for laptops.
