    Hey, what's going on everyone? I finally purchased a 9300 today because of that un-restrictive coupon, and was wondering what would be the best and our cheapest bag for the 17" laptop? Also what are some good memory upgrades, and a good 7200RPM HDD? Any help would be appreciated.

    I don't know much about bags, but the best RAM is generally considered to be Crucial (http://www.crucial.com/). If you are on a tighter budget, you may want to looks at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820208024

    As for 7200RPM hard drives, currently they are available only from Hitatchi. The 7k100 is currently their best model (80 and 100GB sizes available), but it isn't widely available yet. The 7k60 has the same speed, but it only comes in smaller sizes (40 and 60GB).

    For a bag, go here

    http://www.ebags.com

    On the left side under "Business and Laptop" click on "Laptop Cases." On the right side you should see "Laptop Case Finder." Use that to find all the bags that fit a 9300.
