    Is there any Sager that has an HD DVD drive? I was gonig to get an HP but I completely prefer the customer service and prices XoticPC.com offers even with the special offers.

    Also, what specs would go along well with having an HD DVD Drive? I know I need a discrete graphics card but what else? I think a larger and better display would be nice but I'd like something around $1500 or under.

    Lastly, can I just buy a barebone and put in an HD DVD or Blu Ray drive if all else fails?

    Sager just started selling the Panasonic UJ-220 Blu-Ray. This is for the 5792 and 9262. You can purchase a HD DVD by itself and try to install it in a system if you prefer.

    Justin,

    What software is included? I keep reading multiple individuals having problems because of new keys being generated and not being updated on the software.

    Will this void the warranty? And is it difficult to do so because I'm not all that knowledgeable in this field. I built my computer but that was a while back and I dont have the slightest idea how to do so again.

    Also, this is somewhat off topic, but if I bought a barebone system, where can I buy a video card?

    I want one except they're so ridiculously expensive.
