I would still like to keep my targus backpack. Although I think it might just be able to squeeze in a 17". I am going to think about this over the week end.
I have decided that I will be going to for MSI GX620 Gaming Notebook. Because I am picking this one via work, it works out that i am only paying about $1800 as there is a special offer going on with a 19" Monitor via my suppliers.
I have a friend that is interested in my old Toshiba Notebook. So that should cover another $400. After that, I might see if I can find some one that take my current Torrent Box infrastructure.
