The only other thing I would do is up the wireless card to the 6230.

 

Is the upgrade worth the price?

 

Looks like a good build feel free to PM me and I can get some of our specials applied for NBR Members.

 

Yes. You get better reception with two antenna.

 

+1

Build looks good!

 

Call me a noob if you want but how do I PM you? =P

 

Welcome to NBR!

You will need to achieve at least 5 posts on these forums. At 11PM EST you will get PM and Signature permissions. I also advocate the upgrade to at least the Intel 6230.

 

You need at least 5 posts to PM. Btw, if you don't need bluetooth I'd recommend the Bigfoot Killer N as your wifi card

 

Ah that sucks I was hoping to order my laptop soon to get everything out of the way, but now it looks like I'm going to have to wait if I want the special promotions =(

 

Looks like you have 5 posts to me

EDIT:

oh, 11pm, darn

 

Just take a long nap, next thing you know it'll be 11 xD

 

I was going to edit my original post, but this thread now has a 2nd page, so here's the link to one of the forum moderators talking about the 5 post requirement:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/site-suggestions-help-announcements/480350-cant-send-private-messages-create-signatures.html

That subforum by the way answers a lot of questions about these forums and how they work.

 

I see that you didn't include OS, so i guess you will use Linux. If this is the case then I recommend not to go with Intel wireless cards. Ask to ship without any card, but to build the maximum antenna cables inside (there is 3 antenna for WiFi and 1 for 3G), and later find an Atheros card. The extra antenna cables will not hurt but, if for any reason you ned them, they are already here.

 

He could always purchase it at a student's discount at his post-secondary institution!

 

@rootusercyclone You can email me if you would like and we can take care of it over email. (Click on my name below )

 

I actually have a copy of Windows 7 at home, so I don't need to have it pre-installed

 

Are you reinstalling it after having installed it on a separate machine previously? If so, make sure it isn't OEM - I was just reminded today that you can't move an OEM Win7 installation.

 

It's a copy I picked up a wile back that was discounted. I haven't installed it yet.
