I like the commodore lol. No idea what the first case is, but it kinda looks like that one bulldozer case. The 2nd looks like a antec 900 or 1200 and the last one looks like a coolermaster haf. And how is that voodoo laptop a gaming computer, cause it has intel graphics.

WOW I was almost drooling! :P
-
Me too! Alienware has one like that too but its $700 extra just for 4 more gb of ram!

Thats a lot for 4gb of ram. I'd be happy with the 4gb on the machine you showed me.
-
me too... I would be happy with no ram and I would buy my own

My laptop is seriously lacking in gaming capability to be fair, but laptops were never designed to play games. But would it really hurt them to put a decent graphics card in Laptops?
-
graphics cards run even hotter then the cpu... logic dictates that putting in a closed space would make things worse temp wise.

Ok that answers that question. :D
-
Ya they are designed to get up to 90c!! Almost boiling! Ive seen some people run them at boiling temp too. That would be a nasty burn if you touched it
-
Put CPU's must push out some serious heat surely?
-
They can get up to around 60 or 70c . It really depends on the tj max of the cpu though. I really wouldnt get it any hotter then 20 under then tj max. Like for me, the tj max of my cpu is 90c, so I really wouldnt want it to get any hotter then 70c. I still like to keep it cooler then that though. I dont like heat.

Take a look at this one (http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=1&product=8471&category=).

Ive seen better. For about the same price on newegg, there is a laptop with a 4870x2

Ive also seen a laptop for around 4k euros with an i7 and 280m sli. I wanted it so bad but I cant seem to find it now. It was HUGE and the battery probably lasted around 20min
-
It's about $500.00 more, and the support with Asus is nowhere near what Toshiba has.
-

Mmm not quite but still nice.
-
But the graphics are much better. And the most expensive toshiba was about the same as the asus
-
Only if you bump the Toshiba up to 8GB, at the stock 4GB it's $1850.00, the link you provided shows the Asus at $2350.00. That does look like one sweet video card though.
With the heat my Qosmio generates I can't imagine what that one would be like. I don't use a cooling pad, I bought my laptop an air conditioner.
-
I got a free laptop cooling pad but no laptop :-[ :-X :-\ :(
-
Not even when you sit down?
-
Well I could use it when I sit down but I dont have anything to plug it in to
-
Style over substance...

I wouldn't kick it out of bed for farting!

Up to an i7 975 and a 280m. Now All it needs is a second 280m...
-
That's pretty nice.
Mine has a flames paint job.
(yeah, lame argument) Very nice laptop though. What's their service like?
-
No idea. Pics and specs of laptop?
-
It's in computerulers post.
Mine is the Toshiba Qosmio.
-
It does look nice...
-
<confusion> Which one? </confusion>
-
I just want something that will play games. Rather then this bucket of spanners I'm using.

The toshiba Quantos
How much money do you have to spend mulreay?
-
Right out of the box mine was on sale for $1550.00 CDN, so you must be able to get it on sale for about $1200.00-1300.00 US.
-
how much money do you have to spend mulreay?
That's just it Laptop or PC? Obviously the money to power ratio needs considering. I'd probably spend about £1000 so about $1649 US.

Then you could get a kick *censored* laptop, but if you don't NEED the portability, then you could get an even kicker asser desktop.
Are those words?

Cheers for that I'm a bit lame when it comes to choosing the correct equipment. The computer shops like
Micro direct (http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/?gclid=CKDJgef585sCFU0A4wodz0p7_A) can sometimes mis-lead you. I will probably buy from there though because they do tend to either build for you or offer sound advice.
-
Well just take those parts and buy them from were ever you want

Hardware recommendations from a guy that wires the heatsink in...
I'm just teasing you buddy...
