    I built a lapdesk for my x7200 because I spend most of my time with it on the couch. There's a couple 120mm fans in it, they're a little off center to try to optimize airflow to the x7200's fans. Works well, very comfortable, plenty of clearance for my legs.

    Cool! where you put the PSU because the cable is to short you may put a piece of wood on one side to hold it

    great job it can be used on bed too :)

    no, i just use the arm of the couch, actually - i'm used to using it that way from years of that kind of use, so i didn't feel like i needed to add on the space for a mouse

    If you can afford that laptop, why the heck do you have a TV from the 80s?

    I don't watch a lot of TV.....we don't have cable. As long as I get some Judge Judy in I'm good to go.

    This is the only 'nice thing' i'm getting for myself - post grad school I'm $70k in the hole for student loans, and before we up our standard of living we're going to knock them out - we're shooting to have them payed off in 6 months.


    they're USB powered, but it can also be powered by AC (which I prefer).

    Isn't Christmas great? This month marks the two year anniversary of me sponsoring a child of a coffee farmer in Ethiopia with $10 a month.

    But a ~$2,600 desktop CPU/twin GPU notebook isn't really breaking the bank. It was a decent investment as it will last for a very long time to see the day those loans are paid off.
