    --------------------------
    Order Total : 1566.00
    Shipping : 45.97
    Grand Total : 1611.97

    The CPU WILL be upgraded to 2ghz when intel has the price cuts the 24th, since this is only a preorder, istnc.com lets you upgrade the CPU after the price cuts or gives you your money back for the difference, I will get 2Ghz for the price of 1.86 so it will be an extr $50 to the total price :D

    If you could post some more pics, other than the ones from the review here, it would rock. I would like to see some in real enviroment and not blank background. Pics taken from a distance would be cool.

    I CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS BABY!! :asus:

    If you expand your search to include pics of the M6 series, which is basically identical in look to the z70, then im sure then Im sure you will find enough pics from all angels and lighting conditions to kill a small horse.

    ps congrats on the order let us know how it works out for you when you get it.
