    Well since I couldn't find a Dell 580M and Dell wants $1289 for one, I bought a new AW. I got a great price from HIDevolution. It comes with a 2670 Cpu,580M,1080p display and Ultimate 6300 wireless card.My other one is on eBay minus the 2960Cpu and Cruciall SSD.I got the new one for $1805, no tax free shipping.Now I'll just wait a few months for the next Nvidia 600 series or the AMD 7000 series.Glad I got a rich and extremely generous Dad. :D If you want to check my listing here you go: http://www.ebay.com/itm/250965021619?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

    If you wanted a 580M so much and you had a generous dad shoulda just got a M18x with 2960XM OEM + 580M SLI + Crucial M4 512GB RAID 0

    @ Ravenite clearly you have given yourself away!

    I think I asked you for a backplate LMAO (you're the only one who kinda knew)! Already got one though, no worries. ;)

    Unless usmc32162 and ravenite were the same person, patrick is not ravenite but usmc32162. It even says on the ebay account. Not relevant to the thread anyways guys. Stay on topic.

    I was kidding of course about having a rich Dad. He was a great guy and I miss him a lot. Anything I have I worked hard for. And yes I'm a proud Marine who served my country. I 'll bet there are plenty of guys and gals in this forum who put their lives on the line for their country.
