| Just bought (about a week ago) a Toshiba X205-SLI2 laptop.
It was on a closeout sale at Best Buy for 1109$ due to it having a HD-DVD drive in it (they are going all Blue ray).
The original price was 1729$ so I feel I got a pretty swinging deal, Newegg still has them listed in the 1600$ range.
Specs:
T8100 Penryn 45nm CPU @2.1 Ghz
Dual 160G HDD's
2 gigs DDR2@667 (now has 4gigs of OCZ in dual channel (2x2)).
Aforementioned HD-DVD, will burn DL DVD, etc.
Dual nVidia 8600M GT in SLI with 512M onboard.
17" screen @ 1440x900
Intel pro ABGN wireless
Onboard gigabit wired
Biometric fingerprint scanner
6 USB2.0 ports
HDMI output
Killer Harmon Kardon onboard speakers w\subwoofer (sounds phenominal for a lappy)
Absolutely awesome looking with a glossy red\black finish outside and piano black on the inside.
Vista home premium (hey, I'm getting used to it) that I have hacked the dreamscene Ultimate desktop background onto (plays an animated background w\o hogging resources).
Dual purpose touchpad, if you have a mouse plugged in you can change it to be a shortcut keypad that is programmable for function.
Yep, it's a beast, prolly 9+ pounds and has the "brick of Doom" power brick (prolly 3-4 pounds in it's self).
I like it  |

Bad, bad angle. | 
Who said you can't mix brands and timings? | 
50C both cores under 1 hour of orthos. | 
With the PSU in a non-traditional position, cable management is sacrificed. | 
The best HTPC card out there, onboard sound decoder for HDMI | 
Shaved off the height by placing PSU up front | 
Under my workstation, case is almost as small as my custom Z-5500 sub |
Specs:
Cheapie Rosewill case - forgot the model#, had it lying around
Noctua 120mm exhaust with CPU duct from an old Antec case
AMD Athlon X2 3800+ with a freezer 64Pro heatsink - hand-me-down
2x 512MB Kingston DDR400 - from old system
2x 512MB Corsair XMS 3200C2 - from my P4 old gaming system
Total of 2GB at 400MHz 2.5-3-3-7
ASRock 939Dual-SataII motherboard - found in a dumpster, all SATA ports, sound, USB, ethernet doesn't work
Sapphire 2600XT PCIe: bought it for an HTPC that never materialized
60GB Seagate Barracuda V - from my old "fatty" PS2
Generic USB card - mobo USB headers don't work
Netgear 10/100 Ethernet card
Silverstone Strider 400w - old P4 gaming system
Modded PSU with a Noctua 120mm fan
No CD/DVD drive - I install stuff using a shared dvd-drive with drive mapping.
Old Dell P990 19" Trinitron CRT - got it for $5 at a garage sale
Old Logitech keyboard - got it for $1 at a garage sale
Microsoft Optical 3-button mouse - got it for $1 at a garage sale
It's quiet, boots up quick, plays guild-wars/tf2/wc3/bf2 nicely when friends come over. Small enough to stuff it in the backseat of my car for lanning. |
