    I'm looking at the e1705. I want to spend ~1350 tops.

    I'm tech savvy enough to install my own ram and hd (easy right?). So Suggestions on what to get and where would be VERY appreciated. I'd like 2 GB of ram and at least a 60 GB HD.

    So far I'm looking at:
    1.66 Duo (anyone know on the price of merioms or if the bus speed will be underclocked)
    True Life screen (is it worth the extra $120?????)
    7900 GS (no heat issues right?)
    1 gb free ram (ill upgrade from 2nd source)
    60 gb hd (Ill upgrade from 2nd source
    intel wireless card
    6 cell battery
