    Thats off HP's website when you try to customize a dv5z with the 3200 and Blue Ray. Interesting...

    Not only that, that's a bundle deal including a cooling stand, mouse, and laptop "sleeve."

    Not bad...

    According to the specs on that build on HP's site here, it does indeed have an ATI 3200 and Blu-Ray drive...

    Hmm, I'm tempted to buy it, remove the Blu-Ray and sell it separately. :D

    hehe, good thinking.

    anyway, that cooler is #$%^, dont let BB fool you. and i picked up a free belkin "sleeve" from frys...so ya.

    its still a pretty good deal over all; much cheaper then if you configured the same thing at hp.com (i think)

    the 3200 is plenty fast to handle bluray.
