    I would like to thank all of you who have been so kind and answered my 10,000 random questions. Everyone who has helped me has been instrumental in shaping my decision to get this particular machine. Thanks to Justin of course for help via email, and special thanks to Gophn for his help with my incessant questions about temperature! =)

    Pertinent specs:

    SAGER NP9262 Ultimate Custom Laptop (Built on Clevo D900C / D901C)
    - TV Tuner: Built-In Multi Region TV Tuner w/ Remote (Standard Remote)
    - Primary Hard Drive: ~ 320GB 5400RPM (Serial-ATA II 300 - 8MB Cache)
    - Ram: ~ 4,096MB DDR2 800 (2 SODIMMS) Dual Channel Memory (Requires Vista 64-Bit to recognize Full 4GB)
    - Video Card: 1,024MB PCI-Express nVidia GeForce 9800M GTX DDR3 DX10 (User Upgradeable)
    - Processor: ~Intel Core 2 QUAD Q9550 2.83GHz w/ 12MB L2 Cache - 1333MHz FSB
    - Display: 17" WUXGA "Glare Type" Super Clear Ultra Bright Glossy Screen (1920x1200)
    - Operating System: ~Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Installed (64&32-Bit CD Included) w/ Drivers & Utilities CD's


    I went with the 320 5400 RPM drive because everyone said it would deliver 7200 performance without the excess heat. Was going to go with the Q6600 but I figured, I'm already spending a pretty penny, may as well get a bigger L2 cache and faster FSB to make the investment last longer. Also tossed in a TV tuner because... hell, why not!

    I want to buy a cooler right now too so I have it at the same time as I get the 9262. Is the Zalman NC2000 a cooler that will fit this book and work correctly with it?

    Thats it! Interested for everyone's opinion, and of course I will update this thread with my thoughts and benchmarks when it arrives.

    Congratulations. The Zalman NC2000 should fit the notebook. The nice large vent should do nicely. looking forward to the review!
