Just ordered: NP5791/M570RU

So I haven't been on this site since the summer of 2006 when I bought an Asus S96j. I bought the Sager NP5791 after reading about it around here and lurking the last few days (I had thought about initially about a Thinkpad T61p, then a Macbook Pro and then a Dell Vostro 1700, but I found the Sager gave me much better bang for the buck).

I'll maybe post pictures and a review once I get it.

I bought it on xoticpc.com. I'm excited!

The only thing I was deciding between was between getting a 8700GT and a 7950GTX. I decided on the former mostly because it runs cooler (even when overclocked). I don't really care about the DX10 compatability.

Nice configuration. As the owner of a very hot-running notebook, I can certainly appreciate saving a few bucks and getting a cooler-running GPU .

they wont be getting them in till middle of next week maybe?
it might not slow u down tho, waiting for the funds to clear and all

 

see my last post

Ordered Friday afternoon, shipped this morning, on my doorstep hopefully Friday

 

Hey SMT I just ordered mine today....FINALLY!!!!.....anyways did ya use a wire transfer?? I used one and just got off the phone with Justin W and he said all my parts are in and ready for a build, as soon as there bank gets the cash.....BTW Justin W also said they just got word again for the 8700 being back ordered =(

 

FYI, the 5791 8700 and 9261 8700 are two different video cards. The 8700 for the 5791 is in stock and shipping immediately.

 

Ya meant the 9261 not the 5791.....just got off a 14 hr shift....sorry for any confusion my bad....and meant to say its still on back order, not on back order again....NOW IM OFF TO BED!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZ

 

no worrys i didnt know that it was a differant 8700 in the 5791
c these forums are good u learn something new everyday

 

whats different about them then justin? it's still a mobile version right?

 

Yes they are both mobile versions.

Physically the card has a different form factor and the mounting hardware (brackets, etc.) is also different.

 

hmm that could suck when the 8800's are out. i wonder if we will ever see one for the 5791...i def do hope so

 

On my 5791 it's the hard drive on the right front palm wrist that generates the most heat (200gb 7200rpm). The 7950gtx seems to stay pretty cool but the fan does run quite often especially when gaming. Wonder if the 8700gt would get the fans running less. The gpu is kinda loud. Also wonder if a 5400prm drive would get that right palm less hot.

 

no i have the wd 5400 scorpio and the palmrest gets pretty warm. my fans run a lot also with the 8700
