    Cant Wait for mine order on the 18th, had some personal issues which delayed payment, Changed Graphics Card on 24th and paid for it.

    I hope it ships soon... i ordered from xoticpc.com SO! they said 5-8 days to build and 3-6 to ship! DAMN its taking forever! it seems i will have to pay for my firsts months loan payment on this before i even get to play with it :(

    Monday the October 1st will the 5th Day, so im hoping that by the 5th of October i will recieve it! I HOPE!


    Nice mOuse bythe way!

    there are still a couple accessories i need to get but im broke as a joke now after this order, so i guess they will have to wait..

    is the resolution supposed to be that on the wuxga? the closest other resolutions (which are not 16:10) are 1600x1024 and 1280x768. is that normal?

    hmm... I don't think 1280x768 & 1600x1024 are "normal". A good driver will let you choose more resolutions than that (eg. 1024x768, 1280x800, 1440x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1200... etc.) You should install another driver and see for yourself. ;)

    Maybe try the 163.71 drivers. It's working for me with lots of resolution I can set. ;)

    That is a nice looking mouse. The only drawback I can think of is that is that the battery might drain a little quicker from the lighting of the mouse. :rolleyes:
    (I doubt it would be much - led usually don't consume too much power, and most usb mouses have the (usually) red light on the bottom). ;)

    Where did you buy it from?

    I was told that Sager would not be carrying the white/silver trim in the U.S. because they thought it was ugly. Xotic told me they don't even know if it's going to be available despite their site saying October. The orange is hideous...

    Some resellers, such as Xotic, allow you to order it with the white/silver trim. It just says ETA October.

    EDIT: Looks like they removed the option but it was there earlier in the week.

    wanna know a little secret guys, for the guys who have the MCE remote. You should be able to use it without sticking that USB receiver in the computer since it has an IR receiver built in. Works on mine.

    I ordered from xoticpc. Everything went well & my Sager is gorgeous. Thank you all for the advice on which to order.

    The glossy screen rules. Text is super sharp and easy to read. The colors seem more vivid than on matte and the black seems deeper. My boyfriend asked if I had a plasma screen :).

    The 7950 GTX is amazing. I'm going to go back to playing Bioshock now.
