    Hey guys,

    So I've been with my 5796 that I bought off Mkang for a good few months now, and I gotta say I love it.

    What I'm looking to get is a dock/port replicator that I can use with this laptop so that I can put it in, connect maybe 1 or 2 things MAX and have all the perfs I'm used to having (upwards of 6/7), and then when I need to, take it out and be on my way to school/whatever.

    I need it to have at least 3 USB, network isn't necessary since I use wireless, display adapter would be nice if I ever decide to get a second screen, but is not required ATM, other than that... perhaps one with an integrated cooler? Or one where I can use my existing Zalman 2000...Sound output, I need 5.1, but I know most docks only support stereo which is why I'd probably end up using my Creative xpress card anyways, so that's not a big deal...

    I was looking at the Kensington SD100S but I don't know if my 17" would fit in there xD. Maybe I'd be better off just getting one of those port replicator things and keep using my Zalman?

    Try PE4L or PE4H with EC2C. Gives a pci-e port and a USB port. pci-e port can have a soundcard or video card installed. ATI cards with onboard HDMI sound.
