    Okay, the temptation was too much and I caved in...convinced myself that it was an early Christmas present. Ordered from MALIBAL:

    I took the plunge too... Spent a few hundred more than I planned to but I figure I'll spring for the 2760qm so I don't feel left in the dust when Ivy Bridge comes out
