    Wow, you must have an amazing budget.... drool. :D

    That system is probably going to be the first that we have seen that is that fully loaded.... no doubt. :)

    For custom paint jobs, XoticPC has a number of them posted here and on their site.

    Some examples here:

    With all due respect I have a big feeling that you don't know much about computers.Considering what you are spending you should atleast consider it.

    Best of luck

    Ya are the 7200rpms really faster then the 320s, i think should be almost the same considering having more memory.

    You are correct. If I was re-ordering I might have gone with 2 320's but the 2/200's should work okay

    just get yourself the expresscard X-Fi (which I saw in your specs) and you should be good to go for best gaming audio with EAX 5.0. :)

    I just went with the internal. I figure I can purchase an X-FI anytime if I feel I need it. This isn't going to be a major gaming rig for me.... only when im out of town and the g/f is going to use it some at home when im on the main PC. I just wanted the most powerful thing out there and I don't mind the weight... I wanted something that will last me a few years as I don't upgrade laptops very often.

    No doubt with the specs on these though they can hold up against most mid and even some high range desktop setups for gaming and that is plain awesome for a laptop.

    when you take out the Expresscard, it will switch to your on-board sound, which is still pretty decent in today's standards for mobile audio. :)

    As for mice, thats subjective.... I recommend to go to a store and test them out to see which one is most comfortable to you.

    Then go online and buy it for cheaper from e-tailers. (like Newegg, Mwave, Zipzoomfly, etc..) :D

    Logitech G9 ;). Prices have come down a bit making it more attractive...still more expensive than most other gaming mice out there but hey its the best imo.

    Also when you're already spending that amt might as well splurge for the no dead pixel guarantee. I know some retailers ( that are mostly recommended on these forums) will let you return either way but better safe than sorry.

    Yes, but the only way to truly learn is by experience, and the 9262 is going to be one hell of an experience!

    It was already sent to Sager and the check has been received at Xotic. It'll probably be in the mail in the next couple business days but unfortunantly im going to be out of town and won't be able to play with it for a week.... not gonna be fun waiting lol.

    The 2/200gb's at 7200rpm will work fine... I like to save any important things to an external so if they burn up then I guess i'll be purchasing a couple 320/5400's or maybe the new 7200's by then... lol
