    Had nothing to do so i assembled a list of places to buy nice notebooks. Some have the same stuff as the other ones, but some have nice customization options for hefty prices.

    Nice rigs (no drool), but they're not for me. I wouldn't know what to do with all of that power lol. My simple dual-core notebook will do fine for me ;) .

    I'm like the others... those are nice, but I have no need for that kind of power. Mine does mine just fine... although those are nice.

    And wow... a 19" Notebook... what's the point?!

    I have to agree.. I would not know what to do with something more powerful than my lappy... but I know what to do with the money! :D

    by the way I don't know why but I'm not really impressed by Voodoo laptops, especially at those price points... AlienWare is nice (as always), but also a little pricey for system configurations that they have competition for (e.g. Aurora 9700 vs Dell e1705)
