    Nice setup. Looks pretty similar to one that I'm going to order from XoticPC.

    Everything looks good to me. Only thing I'd recommend is switching to the 6235 wireless, as it has bluetooth. Also, make sure the OS is on your SSD, because it's in your 2nd HDD slot.

    Leave it as is. Killer Wireless is miles better than Intel's stuff. Who needs bluetooth when you can get a USB bluetooth transmitter instead. Wifi is far more important.

    For me, wireless speed isn't an issue as I live in corporate America, where our friendly local consolidated monopolies generously provide us with enough bandwidth to stream music from youtube if you're willing to stay up 'til 1 AM and hope nobody else in your neighborhood has the same idea. Bluetooth, though, I can use, and usb ports have always been and will always be an issue for me. On my old thinkpad I had to daisy-chain 4 usb hubs (2 powered) before I had enough ports for all my stuff.

    Nice! I'm typing this reply on my Pollux 1412 as well, very similarly configured to yours except I have the 2.6GHz processor, blu-ray and only a 64GB SSD with no HD... kind of regretting that now haha. How do you like yours?

    Do you mean the 3720QM or some i5? As you can see, that is why going with a single SSD (esp. a 64GB one) is not advised. Maybe you should pick up a 1tb or something drive off newegg and stick it in there.

    3720QM. Do you know if the caddy is already in there? I might just get another SSD around the same capacity. An extra 60 or 64GB would be plenty for me as I have a 1TB external where I keep my movies and extras.

    BTW just read your sig, what's the steel series keyboard?

    The SteelSeries keyboard is generally sold in the MSI laptops and the whitebook MSI if they are upgraded to it.

    the thread on the subject can be found here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/658237-msi-steelseries-keyboard-p170em.html
