    Had my FX for almost 2 weeks now and running solid without any problems. Things turned ugly when our landscaping project for my new house turned out $1k more than we budgeted and at this point, we can't cut corners anywhere so that means I'll have to return my FX back to BB, take a 15% restocking fee ($150) but still be able to complete our home project which mean more to me (and 'us') than my laptop.

    It was nice to know all the members here and particularly, my fellow FX owners and I learnt a lot of things from this forum and threads.

    My 14 day return window from BB is over today so I'll be packaging my baby back up (wipes away tear). Well, I guess sometimes a man has to prioritise things and if it means sacrificing some things for the better of others, then so be it.

    Crysis and CoD4 did look off the hook on my projector and 120" screen so I will cherish that momemt for sometime till I find the funds for another 17" gaming laptop.

    Later fellas
