    It says 8800M GTS in the description, they probably typed it wrong, the P-FX wih an orange trim only come with an 8800M GTS.

    theres always about 15 for sale at once do a search on ebay for the model

    most go for around what i got mine for 820

    look through for ones that are in good condition though.

    thats where i got mine, 2nd turn
    they have 3 stores hd gamer 2nd turn and best buy outlet.

    I had bids on about 20. many went for 750 but ones that say almost new go for in the 800s. looking back im glad i got one that had the os disk and was almost new because you are playing with fire to take a customer return it could be a lemon definitely.

    same seller also carries the acer 5920 and the asus g1s and they both go for like 600-800

    asus g1s is really nice too it has a nicer screen than the 6831 it goes for just barely more
