    LoL. :D
    (i was pretty giddy when i got mine, like a kid with a new cool toy)

    Congrats for the new notebook.

    When you are ready and have tried it out. Can you give us your impressions and a review of it?

    That would be great for others interested in the same notebook to read your thoughts and comments in a review.

    Get some digital pics of it, and some benchmarks of it to show to greatness of this notebook.

    Congratulations on the pruchase. I hope you enjoy it. I was like that when i got my new notebook. It wears off after about a week or two. As Gophn, write up a review. We can't have too many reviews, now can we.

    I love to write a review, however i have no benchmarking software. I had some on a CD that came with a Maximum PC zine, but it was only a trial offer, which expired before i even installed it :(

    Can anyone point me in the direction of some free benchmarking software? Also, i just ordered Company of heroes and Lineage 2. Ill use those for the benchmarking when they get here.

    depending on your location. These notebooks are coming out of the West Coast of the US. So 3-5 days if you are near 5-7 if you are East Coast for ground shipping..

    not counting the build time.. which is 1-3 days.

    Total time to build + ship for my Sager was 9 days, so not a long time at all.

    I have a 7800 GTX which is approx 10-15% slower than the current 7900/7950 GTX.

    It runs all games on native WUXGA resolution (1920x1200) at ultra high settings. And the performance does not seem to take a hit at all.

    These Clevo notebooks are very well engineered for cooling... especially with the Fan speed (Fn+F2) command that toggles all fans in the notebook to either go on Auto or on Max speed. I always toggle to max speed when I game for efficient cooling.

    Right now I'm playing Splinter Cell Chaos theory at 1680x1050 with all (and i mean ALL) settings on maximum and it runs smooth as glass. Granted that's not a brand new game. But it's got shader model 3.0 and it's mighty freakin pretty.

    When I had FEAR installed it averaged 73 FPS with a minimum of 36, max 174 with everything except FSAA and Anisotropic maxed (don't remember what res)
