    Hi,

    I'm looking to buy an Asus C90, G1S-A1 or hold out until the G1S-B1 comes out.

    I'm curious if anyone has any direct experience with hooking one of these bad boys up to a 30 inch monitor. All the 30 inchers take DVI-D connectors so I would have to go HDMI to DVI...anyone know if this will definitely work?

    Thanks!

    Do you have a link to a website that sells the G1S-B1?

    I just saw them today on a website in Canada for about $2050-$2,100K Canadian. I haven't seen them available in any of the US stores/sites.

    Do you think they will be around that much USD? I know with the crappy dollar rate right now it is on parity w/Canadian dollar. If it is a $400 increase vs. the G1s-A1 then it is a no brainer. I'll get the A1.

    If you think the T7700 and the 200GB 7200 RPM is worth the extra $100 dollars then go for it.

    I've spent $210 alone for the HDD from NewEgg and stuck with T7500, so yeah definately, if you can get -B1,get it.
    If you are impatient like me and won't order anything other than from NewEgg then get G1S-A1.
