Take a look at the Sony Vaio CW27FX. I own it and it rocks. 14" that can play BFBC2 on medium settings 1600x900. I just edited my post to include it.

[Veldy]

Nothing outrageous right now for my laptop (XPS M1730, not the top of the line parts in her)
But I'll keep an eye on this thread for when I'm ready to build a beast of a desktop



How do you guys feel about dual/triple monitors?
Is that the way to go? (Or maybe 1 large monitor? Sizing windows by hand would get annoying though -- besides what you can do in W7)

Thanks. Nope, no case. Wouldn't fit anything with all that + 15 more pounds of copper and another triple 120 radiator. I prefer it open anyway so I can 'mire on demand.

nothing special, gets the job done though

[vegemetal]

Here is a mod I did last year. I actually never ended up using this PC for anything although it was intended for a home theater PC. I guess I should get my ass in gear and try to sell it.

Stats:
1.6gHz Intel Atom N230 processor
built-in nvidia graphics (the motherboard is an Zotac Nvidia ION)
a 160gb laptop hard drive
2GB of PC6400 DDR2
a laptop DVD rom/cd burner drive

It is capable of running fanless but I have two fans, one in the bottom sucking air directly away from the processor and one on the top blowing air across the processor heatsink and out of the grill on the top.
