A must buy!

Pros: Fantastic card, I can run Unreal Tournament 3 at maximum settings and Call of Duty 4 on maximum settings (don't know the fps). Age of Conan runs at least 30+ fps smoothly. Will try Crysis soon! But it's a must buy, for a single or even dual SLI. Great price too, in my opinion. If someone would look into your PC, this would be the first thing they'd ask about. It turns heads.
Cons: Enormous and noisy! This shouldn't deter you to get this whatsoever.
Overall Review: C2D E8400 3.0GHz, 4gb RAM, 8800GTS (this one). I need people's opinions, should I dual SLI this card?
A beutiful monstrocity

Pros: Tall and long. Basically, enormous! Very nice, powerful fans, especially the 200mm big boy up top. Every fan has its own speed adjuster, the 3 front fans have knobs that adjust the speed. The bog boy has an extra switch for its LED (can be turned on or off). The fans that suck air INTO the case (the 3 front fans and the optional side panel fan which I installed) have their own air filter. Little tray on top is awesome. Interesting removable drive bays, they're in little cabinets of sets of 3 behind each front fan, nice to keep your drives steady but mobile if necessary.
Cons: Not as wide as the Cooler Master HAF 922 case, so cable management is difficult, though not all bad. The lower drive bays (behind the fans) and the fan filters are hard to access, you have to take both side panels off, and unscrew 4 thumbscrews for each fan compartment (which holds 3 drive bays each) to access the screws for the drives and the fan filter. Accessing the rear fan and big boy switches (in the back, above the 2 fans) is the biggest pain ever! HEAVY! But you're not taking it anywhere, are ya? Not a real con, but it's literally ICE COLD. Normally my case would be kind of warm due to the heat of the GPU/CPU/PSU, but this case is as cold as ice even where the GPU/CPU/PSU is.
Overall Review: I have no idea why some people rated it 1 Egg, except for those who got it broken. It's a phenomenal case, large and in charge. I switched from a XG Viper 2 mid case. Each of my GPU's heat dropped 10 degrees, from 54C to 44C. My CPU dropped from 40C to 30C. I do admit, the cable management could have been improved, the case has enough room for that. But the accessibility problem of the drive bays is not a big deal, especially since most people generally don't touch their drives often, but the accessibility of the filters should have been better. They could have just wired the switches for the rear fans and big boy somewhere in the front... It's really annoying in the back. All in all, if you need a full tower case, this is it, right here.
Epic price, epic laptop!

Pros: +Fantastic hardware; 4GB RAM, 1GBGPU (Nvidia 9650 GT), "okay" processor. +Wifi is good. +Amazing price! (750 after rebate and email coupon, I got mine for 850 because I bought 2 year warranty). +Rarely hot. +Always quiet. +Neat ASUS hardware and software (face recognition login and fingerprint scanner is cool). +Webcam is great. +Screen is perfect for me, 14.1" widescreen (16:10). +Light. +Comes with Expressgate too. I probably won't use it that much, but it may be a useful addition. +Will play anything on at least medium settings at a good framerate.
Cons: -BLOATWARE! It's just annoying... -Has 4GB RAM, but 32bit OS. So it recognizes only 3GB RAM, but still helps performance. -I'm not partial to offset mouse pads, my enormous hand hits it when playing fps' as well as when I type, sometimes. -No bluetooth! It has the button and light, but no bluetooth. -Biggest flaw, and it's not even that much: the 2.0GHz C2D processor bottlenecks the performance of the GPU and RAM. It's not that bad though. -The function key is left of ctrl, which is a tiny bit uncomfortable for me, but I'm already used to it. -Vent port is on the right hand side, so mouse hand will get warm, probably. Mine didn't though. It would be better if they switched the vent and the DVD drive.
Overall Review: I installed Vista Extreme (I didn't make a mistake with what I just typed) but it's still a 32bit OS and I don't know if this processor is 64bit, if it is, I'll install a 64bit version. I'll be using this for school... as well as hardcore gaming as it can handle everything: CS:S (Maxed) 1280x800 - 60+ fps L4D (Nearly Maxed) 1280x800 - 40+ fps Fallout 3 (Medium/high) 1280x800 - 35+ fps Crysis (Medium) 1280x800 - 30+ fps Starcraft (Maxed) 800x600 - 30+fps (loolololol) It runs everything beautifully, smoothly, and effectively. This is a hardcore gaming laptop, 100%. This is a MUST BUY!!! **NOTE** You CAN install a bluetooth module, it just goes under the keyboard. It can run Crysis, 'nuff said, ladies and gentlemen.
