hi I have a TJ08B-E based system and have a dual monitor setup, and wanted to put this all on a computer cart so I can move it around in my apartment. Most computer cart I can google seems to be as expensive as the computer itself or more.. does anyone have any pointers to any modular...

hi Is there any site which has performance/pricing benchmarks of off the shelf notebook systems. There seem to be sites which benchmark the CPU but not the whole OTC laptop configurations... G

Well I do know that.... thats why I have a spindle of Taiyo_Yuden 100 DVD's lying in my office here in front of me. I initially bought them for photo archival... I have hence moved to BDR-LTH as the Blurays have a hard coat unlike DVD discs... also I can store about 18GB per disc after ECC...
