    I'm looking for a forum where there are lists of possible upgrades or modifications.
    like:
    SSD HD commentary,
    optimized settings suggestions,
    upgrading screen from 1600X# to 1900X#,
    drivers resource list,
    cool little extra goodies available to use on the C90s,
    HACKS,
    etc.

    Anyone with some links, comments, or keywords?

    Did you check out THIS mod? :D :p

    Unfortunately, the C90S is pretty much a dead horse now. While it had some great features, there were too many issues and I believe Asus has given up on it. The C90 series wasn't a successful release due to low sales and high RMA rates, hence there may not be many people making mods on this particular notebook.

    This is the only reason I'm pissed at ASUS, because there is NO upgrades!
    I first got this laptop and even with all the issues it had heat/noise I would have been happy with it, if you can upgrade it.
    Great idea but really bad support!
    Thanks ASUS! YOU SUCK!

    It is almost 2 years old so yeah getting obselete but what laptop doesn't after that much time. The memory, hard- drive, cpu, and gpu and cd drive and wireless card are very easily upgradable. Just that there was only one video card upgrade. Plus if you take a little time it is very possible to have no problems at all with anything. A great laptop. :D
