    I just received the 8103.. I've yet to experience the flickering problem which has plagued the 8104, but, however, I found out an annoying gfx issue. If I boot to XP with an ordinary CD-ROM in the drive, I get graphics corruption right from the XP logon screen, and eventually a total lock-up. Without CD in drive at boot it works fine. Anyone else has this issue?

    Other thing was that the USB ports on the right side of the machine didn't recognize my USB mem. Always got the malfunction bubble. After succesfully inserting it to the left side, removing it and then inserting it again to the right side made it work. Wtf was up with that?

    I can't prove the USB thing, but should I just take this back?

    Definately take it back as those are major problems.
