Getting my Sager NP9262 in a few days!

I order my Sager NP9262 from Xotic PC back on like the 8th and I got a
e-mail today saying it will be shipped out within 24 hours-48 hours! I am so excited. When I configured it I went with the bare minimum in most areas, But all that means to me is I have plenty of options to upgrade with in the future. It will out perform most other notebooks out there now and in a few years when I can pick up parts for dirt cheap I can practicly double the speed/size of every part. Here are the specs:

I went without a OS to save money since Im gonna be using XP until somebody I know gets vista and I already own XP. Let me know what you think.
P.S. I got a great case modification in the works for this baby that Im doing as soon as it arrives, So long as my ebay stuff arrives before or the same time. I'll post here when I start my thread in the case mod forum.

 

Just a quick, nitpicky, Q: what GPU did you get? Your listing (which is otherwise admirable ), only shows "Video Card: 512MB PCI-Express nVidia GeForce" - I'm assuming it's the 8800M since that's the only GeForce card listed on xoticpc.com.

 

Start to prepare for it,by sleeping more.You are going to have many sleepless nights to come

 

Yeah its the 8800 GTX. I just copied the listing from the invoice hadnt noticed it didnt say which model it was. I wish I had sli but dual cards ATM is a waste of money imo.

 

i had that letter as well. I believe your laptop actually shipped out by the time you received the letter.

 

Im like actualy giddy over getting this laptop! Once I get my ebay parts and I finish my case mod on it I will love it even more! Im just hoping Im the 1st to do the mod I am planning as I want a truly unique machine.

 

you will love this lappy mate.. im playin with mine right now.. installing all the programs etc etc. having one lil problem though i cant seem to connect to my wlan router. i posted in the other thread under 9262Sli :-(

 

Agreed, although that is, at bottom, a purely personal, subjective decision, so anyone who thinks otherwise based on their needs/wants/desires is equally correct.

 

I know, Thats why I said imo ( in my opinion) cause its all subjective.

 

Been tracking my laptop, It will arrive tomorrow! I can't wait!!!!

 

I ordered mine on the 21st but looks like i'll get it next week sometime i guess. Sucks i really wanted something to do friday-sunday of this weekend. I'm still in stage two. Of course the 7 days isn't up till to tomarrow due to payment. Just kinda sick of this old laptop. *sigh

Glad your gonna get though it's the waiting around thats killing me

 

still haven't got mine they said I should get mine this Fiday. I guess thats what I get for choosing the cheapest shipping (37 dollars).....

oh well.... I triedd upgrading.

BTW: ordered april 11 at exotic pc.

 

Good luck fellas. just make sure u check for damage as soon as you get it. on the whole xotic did a great job packing mine. thanks justin.

oh yeh u will love your machines it is absolutely mind blasting !! (russell peters joke)

 

I placed my order on 11st too, received it last week. I couldn't sleep the night before I got it. lol

 

Nirvana did you get the free upgrade to the q6700

I did I did..... woot

 

nirvana has a 5793 no 6600 for him... says the cpu nazi... (seinfeld joke for those that know)

 

I wish i can put q6700 in lol

 

I got the free shipping from xotic if it ships today i'll get it by friday. After today though i won't see it till next week. Seems to be about 2 - 2 and a half weeks to recieve the comps looks like i'll have to wait another week.


PS what free upgrade to q6700?

 

I originally ordered the q6600 then the q6700 went down in price.

Well I got it! I am so happy! Its funny the 1st thing I did was take the computer out of the box and.... GET THIS!..Took it apart! I disassembled the LCD bezel to do a case modification on it. The thread with more details can be found HERE http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=245072

 

Just a tip. Never order a brand new computer without a OS just to save a few bucks. I have had to borrow a mouse and spend a hour on the phone with tech support just to get things in order and I am by no means new to computers. Matter o factly I bought this computer to use for college cause I am taking a Game and simulations programing course threw Devry University and needed the power this system provides. On that note I should have gotten vista instead of using XP.

 

Grats man keep us updated. I want to hear all about it. I get mine next week

 

what "things" are you referring to? I bought mine w/o OS and I had no trouble at all.

 

same here. only 'problem' is with vista itself...
After 6-8 hours, it gets sluggish and I have to reboot.

 

Same here, drivers or what?

 

got mine without OS too.. had a lil bit of drama tryin to install vista initially but after a dicking around with bios settings.. installed it whacked on SP1 for X64 vista.. and this lappy is hummingg away.. now to install games and benchmark this beaatchh!!
