    Yo, so I'm selling me C90P which I've never even taken out of the box (well once to glance and make sure everything was there). Sooo, I need to take some pictures to follow NBR rules for selling and I know there are some folks here that would be interested. I also saw something interesting for those still modding the video cards that should make you happy. Check this out, it has a copper heatpipe and aluminum sink beneath the card, besides the copper heatsinks.

    And here are the rest of the pictures for your enjoyment. I'm adding them to my for sale post (see link in sig) and if your interested PM me. I'm shameless :p

    Not much difference here from a C90S, the box is a lot more plain.

    Look at all these need toys, shiny.

    [​IMG]

    Close up on some of the stuff. Notice it comes with Nero OEM, a burned nVidia drive disc that the tech send with it and a Asus program disc (basic stuff. Also first look at copper heatsinks.

    [​IMG]

    They send my an extra battery and gave me an additional year warranty on top of the barebone 1 year warranty.

    Here is the money shoot, the copper heatpipes and heatsink, FTW!

    [​IMG]

    Note, it comes with the C90S manuals, but the C90P driver disc.

    First shoot of the video card, 8600M GT 256MB DDR3.

    [​IMG]

    Here it is unpacked, pretty and so cute and small.

    The Targus bag it comes with, initially I wanted to throw my C90S bag since it was a significantly cheaper bag, but oh well. Enjoy this nice and expensive bag.

    [​IMG]

    Interesting again, its labeled C90S, meh.

    [​IMG]

    Here is a shot of the back of the notebook.

    [​IMG]

    Close up to proof its a C90P (serial covered for obvious reasons).

    Id get rid/sell of that 8600M and get an ati 4650 or 4670 from an MSI notebook, or a nVidia 9650M GT. But thanks for the pictures. The inside of a notebook is always nice to look at :D

    The 8600M GT 256MB DDR3 is pretty much being thrown in the package, with an extra battery and Intel 4965AGN Wifi card. Do with them what you please, it doesn't come pre-installed.

    I need to get an admin to change the name of my for sale thread since it doesn't seem to let me change that :-(

    Hmmm that is interesting, surprised this hasn't been up before. Then again I think all the issues with the "S" scared many away. Wonder if its compatible with the S

    I don't think so, I mean the P has a new mobo and chipset 'P35' which is an actual desktop chipset compared to the modded S one, thus 4GB DDR2 800 and the Wolfdale chips over 3.0Ghz. Not to mention that beauty of a graphics cooling system that looks like it's straight out of a modders paradise. That will keep something a whole lot better then a 8600M cool.

    Remember someone, I don't remember who already bought the copper cooling from a P and tried to get it into a S. I think both didn't fit flush, but he managed to fit the GPU copper heatsink.

    The P is a vast improvement on the S and I wish they would of kept working on it, who knows what they could of done with an i7, I mean its a lot more compact then the other desktop replacements using desktop CPU.

    Anyone know where I can find the full assembly/service manual? I would like a complete set because while I am quite experienced with desktops & towers, I have no experience yet repairing a laptop.

    My immediate problem is replacing the C90S keyboard which has a frozen caps lock key.

    Thanks in advance.
