    Anyone know of a slimmer battery for the u36? I got mine in today. The 8 cell has a large hump on it. Yes I know it promotes air accessibility to the machine, but I'de like a flush battery option if there's one out there.

    I have yet to see a different battery option out there. If they do end up making a 6 cell in order for it to sit flush, that will obviously end up reducing your battery life.

    I bought mine from XoticPC. Nice to see you in the community. That obvious that the battery life would be expected. I'm a software developer. I needed something small with a little kick to take around with me. I've got my desktop I built myself at home to do any heavy work for me. LINK. I've got to update that. It's OC'd to 4.2GHz and has 2 new nVidia 560's

    That's a pretty sweet looking rig. Is the liquid cooling something you got stock with the case? I ended up liquid cooling my rig at home (both CPU and SLI GPUs) with Koolance parts, but it fits well in the server sized case I used lol.

    That's just a Corsair H50 for now. I haven't needed to OC my video cards. Yet.

    Janne303: have you see one online anywhere?
