    1.Configure a 1500 Vostro with standard features
    2.Select the cheapest core 2 duo processor
    3.Select a 8600gt nvidia card
    4.Go to cart and add the 25% off coupon, can be found scattered throughout NBR, Deal ends today btw :eek:!
    Edit: Can be found here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=148530&highlight=smb
    5. Go to the ram deals board and buy 2Gigs of ram for 60$ish
    6. Enjoy your 700$ gaming laptop :D

    Everything else on the laptop can be upgraded aside from the screen resolution and built in webcam (which I got in my sig). Other than that, one heck of a deal.

    Enjoy!
