    As soon as my m15x refund clears, I'll be placing my order for this bad boy:

    I'm also working on a custom skin for it, although I haven't decided whether to do it directly through XoticPC or through one of the seemingly cheaper alternatives. More research [and your feedback] will help me make that decision.

    Eek - I hope my refund doesn't take that long. D:

    All the same, it's probably much better if it does, so I have no excuse not to get the GTX. ;D

    Read Rambo's review of it and mine which is soon coming. The site is AMAZING. They even told me that if it didnt fit to my liking, they would refund me or MAKE ME ANOTHER ONE!

    The man I spoke too, Dylan, assured me on that and it was just an overall great experience. Not too mention it only cost me $24.

    How odd, in US they offer for the 5796:

    17" WUXGA "Glare Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright Glossy Screen (1920x1200)

    And the exact same model from kobalt pc only calls it

    17" WUXGA X-Glass (1920x1200)

    I suppose they are both the same right?

    I'm a little wary about dropping big bucks to have it painted, for a couple reasons. First, I'd like to be able to swap out designs - I'm one of those weird people who can stick with one thing for very long. Second, I'd like to be able to return/resell the machine in the future, and having my callsign painted on might hamper that a bit. Third, painting is EXPENSIVE, and I'm intentionally holding back from a souped up 9262 to save some cash. Finally, I'm not sure how the process works, and I'm paranoid about the reproduction quality [that's what she said].

    Got a favorite color?

    I can also hit up some gradients, if you want. Something like this?

    [EDIT: Ohshoot, I forgot to change the model number to 5792. Use your imagination, and I'll correct the final. Or you can just try to fool your friends! ;D)

    Fex, I cancelled my m15x order before it ever shipped, and got a 5793 instead. Couldn't be happier with it - so I know you're gonna love your 5796. Great specs!

    Ya, been without my 5793 for about 3 weeks now. So hard using my crappy 7800 GT desktop :(. Laptop should arrive sometime next week. Ordered my NC 2000, Steelseries headset, and razer exact mat to finish it off. The only thing left is looking for a bag.
