College Laptop Time!
Alright, I'm really excited because I'm going to order my laptop for college in a few weeks. I've decided to go with Falcon Northwest to build it, they offer the best parts and their laptops look sick. This is what I'm going to get, I've been saving for a long, long time for this, it's gonna be a beast.
17" LCD - 1920x1200 Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.13GHz 4GB 800MHz - (2x2048MB) 2 x GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB 2x 80GB 7200RPM - SATA (in a RAID 0) 8x DL DVD+-RW Windows Vista Home Premium - 32 Bit Total price is going to be $4,591.... a lot, I know, but it will be worth it.

Congrats! Falcon NW is a great, top notch computer company. Better than alienware! You can't get desktop processors in an alienware!

Good, I really, really wanted to drop this kind of money on a company that knows what the hell they're doing.

Get the blue!! It will look so much better in my opinion.
And I doubt you will get it within the month. Companies like Falcon, Alienware, and Voodoo rarely finish that early. Most alienware laptops are delayed a couple weeks after estimated completion dates.

Two HDD's in RAID in a LAPTOP!
 I haven't seen that before. Whatever you do don't lose it or drop it!
