    After a few posts in this forum and tons of helpful information I ordered a Sager NP5790 through xoticpc.com in this config

    - Display: 17" WUXGA 1920x1200
    - Processor: ~Intel® Core™2 Duo T7500 2.2GHz
    - Video Card: 512MB PCI-Express nVidia GeForce 8700GT
    - Ram: ~ 4,096MB DDR2 667
    - Optical Drive: ~Combo 8x8x6x4x Dual Layer DVD +
    - Primary Hard Drive: ~ 100GB 7200RPM (Serial-ATA 150)
    - Bluetooth: Internal Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR
    - Wireless Network: Built-in Intel® PRO/Wireless 4965 802.11 a/g/n

    I need to order a wireless router and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions, I have heard N is still shaky but much better so I am not sure which way to go or what brand.

    Tentatively D-Link DIR-655
    Reviews seem fantastic though there is something about broadcasting a 2.4ghz when the new standard is 5.8ghz I am new to wireless networking so my knowledge of the importance of this is limited.

    Thanks

    Oh, also I had my eye on

    Mobile Edge Alienware 17in backpack

    Microsoft 4CH-00012 Aluminium USB Bluetooth Wireless Laser Mouse 8000

    ZALMAN Ultra Quiet Notebook Cooler Model ZM-NC1000 Black

    if anyone has comments or suggestions.

    Thanks again

    I got a DIR-655, its doing fine for me right now, I got it for like 110$ CAD. But I havent had time to use it much, so cant be 100% sure.
