    I'm thinking about buying Asus M50VM-B1 and was wondering where I should shop. Is XOTICPC.com any good? What about newegg? Thanks for the answer!

    Newegg is ok, but the best option is still from Asus resellers. I've had nothing but stellar experiences from gentechpc.

    So look at BTOTech in New York; also reputable and very good.

    Well the nice thing about Gentech is that it's the only provider that I've found that offers putting in all of the drivers before shipping it off. (Need to upgrade to Vista business for my school's network.) Family is tech scared so It's nicer to have everything done with the least amount of tinkering out of the box.

    Looking at Xotic or Excalib. Atleast this way I can get rid of all of the bloatwear. Now to decide on whether or not to spring an extra 30 bucks on arctic silver

    I bought one from Ken at Gentech as well and he answered all of my pre-purchase questions and has been excellent to work with.
