    Loving the 7805. Had the XPS 1730 sli 8700s(Ebayed it) and before that an Asus G1s(still have). Wow..this thing has battery life, someting I never knew before. And it runs much cooler than the Asus and even cooler than the Dell at none gaming use but a little louder with the fans, gaming temp are similar to the Dell....surprising knowing the Dell dual fan system. This is much more elegant than the brick like XPS not to mention the power supply. 3Dmark 06 numbers 9200s out of box minus nortons and a few other programs I stripped out. Overall I like this FX far better than anything I tried.

    This thing may have battery life, but nothing compared to my old HP with 11 hours, lol.

    I love my 7811, coming from a C90s and I haven't had a single BSOD yet! I'm so happy.

    The FX's are definitely the best in their price range, but I feel like I'd be better off not buying Gateway in the future. Their track record for quality is not very good, and their customer support has gone down the toilet. I bet they'll start cutting costs and quality will go down in the future, but I hope I'm wrong about that.
