    Laptop for College bound kid $900-$1100

    My wife is playing Tome Raider the Lenovo Y500SLI and it's truly a great machine. It's fairly light and small for having such great performance. It makes my 7970m m17x look really oversized.

    If you had to pick a gaming laptop...

    I absolutely love love my m17x r3 upgraded 7970m & m18x r2 7970m CFX. Being able to open up your laptop/repaste yourself under warranty is nice. Using standard mxm3.0 cards and being able to upgrade just makes it even nicer. I feel like there's some control to the laptop. I really enjoyed how...

    Anyone go laptop only (no desktop)?

    Honestly, Have you seen a more rice inspired laptop? I think not. We put the laptops away for the sake of cleanliness and lack of clutter.

    Anyone go laptop only (no desktop)?

    My wife and I have a traditional japanese style home (floor tables, floor chairs, tatami mat floors, shrines, traditional sliding paper doors, etc) When I told her that a desktop was 1,000 usd less for the same amount of gaming power...she got pretty angry at me for suggesting a computer...

    Eurogamer gave FarCry 3 10/10

    I loved every single second of this game, especially all the cut scenes which I thought were insanely well done. I usually hate cut scenes. Do I wish the AI was smarter? Yes. Do I wish there was a sexy Lisa scene at the end? Yes. Would I play it through again? Yes.

    I figured this board would be filled answers

    My seedbox from whatbox.ca. It has 300Mbps up/down and 100MB storage for ftp/remote ui seeding/video streaming & vpn. I've been really happy with them so far, and I keep finding more reasons to keep my service.

    so I configured a openvpn on my server, rerouted my traffic though the east coast and with its help 100Mbps(1.5TB upload/month metered) I can load all those websites I couldn't before. I wonder how far that will get me though. I'm going to start looking for a unmetered server(100GB storage) soon.

    Tomato Wireless Client Bridge Mode Issue

    That same thing happened to me. I ended up flashing to DD-WRT instead. I did this half a year ago or so. I found that bridging only seemed to work for me if both routers were running tomato.

    Was Eyefinity/Surround a fad?

    Yeah, you're completely right, but when I could get a game to work I'd be more likely to finish the game rather then quit after a day. Eyefinity/surround isnt for the normal enthusiast who is angered by poor support. I personally liked when a game had minor issues that needed to be resolved...
