    The specs on this site are just hilarious. I managed to spec up a desktop to a nice 19k figure!

    In my dreams....

    Now THAT sounds like heaven

    I think WD released 2.5" Raptors, or something similar. They definitely released very fast 2.5" drives, could have been SCSIs. Anandtech or tom's or someone had a preview/review of them a while back. Seemed to be the shiznat.

    see the top end laptop has a 180watt psu, how can that power an fx57(one of the options) and 7800gtx (not to mention all the other parts)?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Because they're mobile components.

    How was the trip down in that last shower? :v:
