    I am trying to configure a 150 for something a little lighter and more mobile than my bigger Clevo.

    One major function will be to run RealFlite6; here is the link

    RealFlight R/C Flight Simulator - The most realistic recreation of R/C flight ever!™

    I travel a lot in my RV doing both RC stuff and astrophotography and need to set this box up in a protected, but not home environment.

    My two current Sagers from powernotebook have matte screens, but I am not sure just what the 95% NTSC Color Gamut Matte Screen buys me. It is quite possible I may have to use the computer in some bright conditions, but I do have stuff to shade it.

    The graphics card is my biggest worry, I have seen claims that the 6990 runs hot. Some places offer a 560 others a 570. This stuff is way over my pay grade so any help is welcome.

    Memory wise the 16gb at powernotebooks looks like the best choice.

    I would like to have two 750gb HDs, but probably need a CD reader as well. I can think of several ideas but if you have one please suggest it.

    Any other ideas welcome.

    How often will you be using the CD reader? If not that often, it may be a good idea to just purchase an external CD reader and get 2 internal HDD's. What is your budget with the P150HM?

    Budget is not a real issue, I am looking at ~$US1600-1800; more or less from what I have seen so far, but that could change.
