    I cant wait to get it here and kick its tires. The other thing I am happy with, is this machine is cheaper that the other, even after a 15% restock fee! The one thing I think I will miss is the backlit keyboard (that was nice). But once this thing is plugged in I am sure I will forget all about that.

    I will post em if I got em. Which benchmarks other than 3dMark do people post? I have never really done benchmarks, but with this new rig, I wouldnt mind trying a few. I there one program you can get to give good benchmarks, or are there a bunch of programs?
