| Not a lot...a core i5 2400 uses roughly 50w under full load and whatever GPU you pick will use around 150w or less. |

| Caviar Blue carries a two year warranty. If you want to deal with Newegg instead of Western Digital than you can pay extra. |

Nope. You saved a shitload of money (or did better for your money) by relying on your peers, when you knew you did not know better, and taking things into your own hands.
Looks like AAyeR is a clear winner here.Last edit: 2012-01-19 16:32:05 |

| thanks medrea, i really look forward to getting really high and playing sc2 with friends. I started two weeks ago on here looking for a prebuilt laptop, and you guys made me see that building my own tower was a cheaper and better way to go. thanks again everyone. |

I blame the direction gaming laptops have taken over the years. Right now they simply are not very mobile. They only have enough battery power to get you from power source to power source.
And they get often get so hot it is like having a penis panini maker. So you cant even put it on your lap.
Not upgradeable either. Or not very anyway.Last edit: 2012-01-19 16:42:40 |

| Newegg has good packaging. UPS does suck though. |

Newegg has pretty good RMA service. If anything is damaged you will be able to get a new product for free + shipping.
Im sure NCIX is same.Last edit: 2012-01-19 17:00:20 |
