Re: SCORE!!! (for a computer guy)
ya this system kicks my home built desktop video card wise at least. I'll probably give my desktop to my wife since its fairly new and I finally convinced her to play WoW. I *should* be able to get along with this bad boy just fine ;)
LOL: at bringing both laptops...it crossed my mind. Although I would love to have this with me, I also consider the thought of it getting sand and grit all up inside of it overseas...but then I'd also have a kick butt laptop sitting at home for a year+ "wasting away". Oh the delemma's :)
Thanks for the congrats all, now all I need is for my het albino pair of BP's i've been raising (only about a year now) to magically become adults so I can breed them! -ya right!

Tek or anyone else have any reccomends on the East Coast - hook a herper up, homies!
Re: SCORE!!! (for a computer guy)
hrm, honestly I've never done hosting through someone other than myself :P While I do webhosting, I've ran some game servers in the past as well. Although those game servers where run in the off hours or durring the summer where I worked last and was the head of technology so I could get away with it :P
The community I mention above is starting a 1.6 team from what I've read, but if you guys are set on running your own through a host I'm not of much use for recommendations. I'm still debating on weather I want to purchase CS:S or not yet...well that and other things that are up in the air at the moment.
Re: SCORE!!! (for a computer guy)
Not only cool that you won something, but even sweeter that you won something so awesome! I've been stuck with the same crappy five year old computer, it has trouble running anything bigger or prettier than Diablo 2 LoD :rainon: :P Oh man oh man, I would eat the most disgusting things to win that computer...*Droolz*
Re: SCORE!!! (for a computer guy)
D2: LoD! one of the few games my wife even likes to play...great game. I'm still bouncing from the win. I'm sure it will take some time for them to paint it and ship it out. Now that I'll have two brand new laptops, I'm considering selling the two PC's I built that we have been using. Both laptops are more than capable of playing any games my wife is into...but the Sager is alllll mine! MINE! Will definately free up some space and lower power consumption not to mention portability.
Re: SCORE!!! (for a computer guy)
So I finally got this system...seems like it took forever but the wait was SO worth it. Its a higher model than the original listed prize system.
Sager 5760 (original 5720)
T2600 2.16 core DUO (original was plain PM 2.13)
Nvidia GeForce 7900 GTX (original was 7800GTX)
The rest is the same as spec'd in the original prize:
2gb ram
80gb sata
DVD RW
I'm installing XP on it now, don't like home. I can't wait to see what this baby is capable of. World of Warcraft should look gorgeous on this latest top of the line nvidia chipset.
WOOHOO!
