    Ok,I Bought The Bst7 Model For The Upgraded CPU And To Save Some Cash
    At That Moment.
    I Have Done The VBIOS,Already Had 211 Bios,Installed Bluray Drive
    Put In Intel X-25 120 Gig SSD Along With Seagate Momentus 7200 rpm
    750 Gig For Games Etc.
    Clean Install Of Windows And Drivers,Added 2 More Gigs Of Crucial Ram
    (1333) For A Total Of 8 Gigs.
    All Updates Done And Newest Drivers Across The Board.
    Got Stuck With What I Consider A Crappy Auo Screen But I'm
    Hesitant To Crack It Open To Change The Screen.
    So My Question Is What More If Anything Is There Left To Do?

    You need to start your Steam account. I hope you took advantage of the XMas sale.

    Start filling up those drives with content! :)

    Wimax kicks; I assume your model comes with this stock. I added the Intel 6250 separately, and it's just amazing how many wimax carriers are available. If you travel much, some areas offer free wimax now.

    I might have posted a similar question a while back - just ran out of stuff to mod, so picked up an m11x and android tablet to keep me busy. Carrying around all this stuff requires a comfy backpack - so get one of those, if not already.

    Consider dual booting with Server 2008 R2 - take a look at Hyper-V, esp with SP1 RTM coming up in a bit. With a mobile I7 rig, the EPT support makes VMs run like butter. :)
