Looking at new laptops

[Matt34]

Buy two of those mega-GPU's and go Crossfire.
I'll second the Lian Li cases. They have some nice features. I also like Silverstone cases for looks. But not cheap.

Man, you went from laptop to micro-ATX cube to full blown tower. So much for easy portablility.

I can always go Crossfire or SLI if I actually need it in the future. I can still use this Dell Laptop for portability, I just can't play games on it anymore. Maybe after I get a new computer I'll have someone look at this and see if it can be fixed.

It didn't save on mine either after I logged back in this morning. I did make it public last night as well but it's not showing up either. I'll put it together again and post it.

Well I recreated the wish list but it says it can take up to 24hrs to publish. When it does come available I'll post the link here as it's much easier to read (Matt's Gamer if your going to search for it). I got two of the 1tb HD and then one of the VelociRaptor 150GB 10000rpm HD for the OS and games.

Here it is, I did have this graphics card but it's now out of stock so I'm open to other suggestions.

This is much better than the CM PSU.

Ok, here is my published wishlist (this should now work Warp):

After looking it over...

Get the G.skill Ripjaw 6GB kit instead for $5 more.

Drop down to a AMD Phenom II 940 and just OC it a little to 3.4ghz or more. You can do this easily with stock cooling.

Change the PSU with the suggestion above or something similiar. Anything more than 750w is way overkill.

I didnt see a video card in the list. What monitor size and resolution will you be playing at? That will determine what card you need.

And Crossfire/SLI is worthless.
