    Hey. Whats the best place to buy the C90 and components? Mostly just the video card cause I think I can get everything else from newegg.

    Wait for the C90P....

    Its price isn't worth it anymore, and the first gen C2D isn't stronger than the new mobile C2Ds so...

    Do you have an estimate on the price? I'm looking to spend ~$1200.

    Asus generally keeps pricing on updated models similar, but for the C90p it's going to be a bit harder to predict because it is a whitebox model that doesn't have lots of internal components that can be adjusted for price updates like their Ensemble units.
