    eh, bluray is still really expensive thats what is driving it up. whats the difference from this over stock?

    WUXGA, BluRay, 200gb 7200rpm, x7800?

    considering intel's high-end cpus usually cost an arm & a leg, BluRay is still pricey, thats not a bad price. would of been nice if they threw in a better GPU though.

    if this had a 8800m or like a 8700gts/x and were $3500 then it would be better.

    They keep sticking with the same video card. It's seriously not worth it anymore.

    Sli 8700GT. When you are paying 3300, you better be getting the best.

    The G2s absolutely needs the 8800 when that comes out. The 8600GT isn't gonna cut it. It'd actually be nice if they bumped it to an 8700GT now, to differentiate it from the G1, but thats wishful thinking.
