    Haha. Maybe I should quit my job and do it fulltime.... The wife would shoot me.

    I'm in Australia.

    My new memory finally arrived so I can actually put the machine back together properly. (I didn't screw everything back in since the 1 and 2 memory slots are under the keyboard).

    I still don't know what to do with the GPU upgrade. My M18x is still in pieces since I borrowed one of the 780M's and it's hurting my soul.

    That's what I'm leaning towards. I'd like to grab one from him but the exchange rate for me is a killer. I'll have to find a cheap one on ebay.
