It also helps to not ask other community members to write your papers.

lol.

It helps keep the mouse level to keep the laser from screwing up.

I got a Sony MDR-V500 headset and the same mic as Red, together costing about $100.

Seriously. It's like he's getting their hopes up or something, goddamn goosesteppers.

Rules 1 and 2.

Yeah, its just a group of guys that get together alot on escape. It's a bit entertaining sometimes and I've yet to see someone really complain.

Did your laptop do something bad to you one night?

Have fun making graphics for shitty text joke commercials that air at 3 AM. I've heard from a friend horror stories about trying to work your way up in the videogaming industry. The market is just saturated with people trying to get a job in it.

I thought he got addicted to playing Oregon Trail 97.

Tbh, a single BA is useless unless you plan on teaching or you pair it with something else. Otherwise you got your degree to pursue a Masters or plan on pursuing a job that basically only requires a General Studies major. I'm a Russian Studies, Poly Sci major, which are both applicable in many careers straight out of college.

So anyways can anyone experienced with laptops tell me if the heat off that CPU will jeopardize it?

I find college classes easier than highschool classes. I can stay awake during them.

Tell his lovely child to stay away from wagons.

If so it's possible to hunt down the manufacturers and see if they've updated drivers to support other OS, but it's also likely the drivers could be universal. Short answer is you'll find out when you try.

Buy my netbook for $175?

Read the article I posted in the OP on the SSD hard drive, it'll make a believer out you. But since Wrathek here is offering Win 7 for dirt I'll gladly give it a go. And I actually welcome building a laptop without a shit ton of SPAMware pre-installed on a partition.

Not really. All that I have to install is the SSD, CPU, and RAM. The OCZ kit has an instruction manual too. It supposedly comes with Vista drivers only so I might need to look around if I want to go with 7 instead.

It should run source games but for a nominal increase ($100-150) you could get a faster GPU in the 4800 Radeon series.

But I did compare it to regular models. This thing is definitely cheaper than others if you leave out the SSD. So I don't see why everyone is being so skeptical. Both. The selling point here is the insanely fast boot speeds from the SSD, and a decent GPU for CSS or other apps. It's not a beast or underpowered, but its fast and gets any job done besides gaming.

newegg is your friend. They always got deals.

Check to see if you still got a warranty on it and call up support. They may be willing to let you ship it back and repair it for a fee if its not under warranty.

If it's a LCD it may be dying.
