    This is the first Asus laptop that I have owned but I've had a number of other gaming laptops. I like to have 2 AC adapters so that I don't have to lug the bricks around with me everywhere in the house.

    In the past, I've been able to purchase older adapters on ebay/amazon. However, I can't seem to find a 230w AC adapter with a 6mm barrel. Almost everything under 50 bucks has a 7.4mm barrel (HP). I can't even find a 7.4mm female to 6mm male adapter.

    Anyone else have any luck? I really don't want to spend 150-175 on an OEM adapter.
