    Hey everyone,

    I recieved my E1705 this afternoon after an unbearable wait. The wait was worth it, this machine is everything that I wanted and more. I love the style, the 17 inch screen, the keyboard, everything. It came with a few things my mom added without me knowing. She added a 3 Yr Warranty, 2 Yr Sub. of McAfee Security Center, and Microsoft Office 2003. I initially planned on purchasing the anti-virus and word processor aftermarket but I guess not. This means I have cash to burn on a cooling pad, backpack, and wireless rechargable mouse. Anyways, i'm very happy with this machine and I do recommend it to those gamers out there looking for a powerful machine. I will be writing a review so keep your eyes open! Thanks to all who helped me select this machine -- Chaz, CompSavy, and a few others. I couldnt have done it without you guys.

    Justin.

    Congratulations. Now install a Merom processor in there and you'll have even more fun, not to mention bragging rights :)

    Have fun with your new notebook! Be sure to dump Dell's stock drivers for the 7900GS and get more "performance oriented" ones ;)
