Thread Lap Dances for next school year

True but they can be sweet as hell. I think I had a 1.5.-2 hour battery life on mine but that thing blew everything else out of the water. Even now it holds its own next to a lot of laptops. Sucks for traveling but at least I could move it.
Obviously yes I went smaller but I still like "The Beast" and am glad Luis gets to use it.
I do absolutely love this machine, look and all. The stealth design has killer looks and is very functional with the "exhaust" style fans and super easy to work on. I will need to pickup a new computer for school though cause unfortunately, as said, its basically a desktop that moves around the house.
My old beast is an Alienware and you better believe I loved how the speakers lit up and that I could have the keyboard in multiple colors. I'm easily amused like that. I just needed something that could go with my son from room to room.
I eventually did tire of the size of it, but I spend enough time carrying around a huge kid as it is so why need a big computer too LOL. They do have their places though. Just like ultrabooks have their place too. I went in between and found a machine that is light like a ultrabook but doesn't have the battery life due to a higher power processor (not ultra voltage). Not everyone wants or needs the same thing and I really appreciate a good machine that is powerful more than anything else.
Good luck finding a bag. I wound up spending a lot more for mine but it fits the laptop. Hope Luis doesn't need to carry it because the bag I chose was rather girly

No microcenter. If you want plain computer parts up here in canuckistan, it's either online from ncix.com or a small local shop if you need something fast.
I haven't bought computer parts in years. Last three purchases were the SSD for the girlfriend's laptop, the girlfriend's laptop itself (technically her purchase, not mine) and about a year prior to that, a wifi/bluetooth combo card for my netbook.
I learned my lesson when I spent half a summer job's income buying my ultimate gaming machine. 486DX2/66 w/8 megs ram, 340 meg hard drive, gravis ultrasound, elsa winner VLB video card, shit was pimp. I still have that computer because I spent way too much money on it to throw it out.
That's definitely hoarding.
I've got a home server, an ARM evaluation board that pulls ~5W from the wall, runs debian, and downloads torrents. Whopping 500GB of disk space
yeah, i accept that i spend about 25 bucks a month to run my servers.
I think im going to start putting them to sleep on a schedule though. I really dont need them live during daylight hours anymore like i used to when i was doing encodes all day long and constantly running stuff.

That reminds me. Anyone want a Pogoplug? The thing is neat, but its too low powered for anything that I want to do.
What hardware revision is it?
If it's a marvell based one, it's got the same CPU as my "openrd-client" ARM server, and it's actually half decent - 1.2ghz ARM9, it's a fair bit faster than a raspberry pi. And it'll happily run debian. I use mine as a low power torrent downloader and file server, and it's great for the job.
