It's pretty sweet, except the graphics card fried, and I had to have the motherboard replaced. This was after 10 months. But other than that problem everything has been perfect.

Those sound like some major problems to only have in 10 months, especially for a laptop (something you can't repair yourself).

Okay I am thoroughly impressed by this new PC we've got.
I just saw a Youtube vid of this guy benchmarking Crysis with four (!) 9800GX2s (!) in Quad SLi configuration with all settings on Very High (no AA). He's happy he can finally play smoothly at 1920x1200 (first he tests 1680x1050).
I have one 8800GT 512MB OC, and I can play Crysis smoothly with all settings on Very High (no AA)!! Good stuff! This game is quality stuff, really realistic. I played it for a few hours, then started Doom3: fugly compared to Crysis.
