I will be buying one once i have the PSU to handle it in my retail bought PC. Seems to be one of the best cards on the market regarding preformance and price.

Kye.

Not as good as an 8800GT, but cheaper. We'll have to wait and see how the 9800 does.

Considering its aimed to be a mainstream card, it does damn good considering it matches or surpasses the HD 3870. I'm more interested to see how the 9800GTX does than the 9800GX2.

This laptop I will not lie, ran me close to $4.3K
Alienware used the same chassis from Clevo and wanted $5.4K

Why this much for a laptop, well for one, I am in the Navy so those who also serve know just how much space you get to store things aboard a ship depending on what class it is, smallboy or big deck.

I am aboard a smallboy (Destroyer) and my Divisional Officer would stuff his own foot in his mouth if he saw me with a desktop computer in the workscenter and no other place to put it forced me to get a laptop. Was running an old Dell XPS M170 but being fantastically never comes apart! Dell, I can't service the cooling fans and they need cleaned so bad, this M590KE offers and completely removable bottom so you can access EVERYTHING, CPU, RAM, VID, COOLING FANS, ADD-ON Cards, HDD's.

Rock On to CLEVO!
