Thanks for the advice on a RAID.
My only other question is if Alienware is my best choice or is there some other company that I havent heard of?

Sager is pretty good from what I've heard and much less expensive.

But as I heard, Raid 2 is quite efficient, but maybe too efficient for a personal user.. ?!
"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."
Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton.

A friend of mine has gotten several Sagers over the years. Pretty good machines, he's always been happy with them.Originally Posted by Uesugi Kenshin

Re: searching for a laptop
Yeah I just checked Sagre out (I hadnt heard of them before) and they are cheaper although dont offer a smany options. At the moment I geuss im leaning toward them. I assume that I can manually upgrade the hardware later on right if i get a new graphics card or something? How many slots do they include for RAM (it would seem like only two)?
Is there any advantage to two smaller independant harddrives rather than one big one?
Re: searching for a laptop
YAY!!!
I hadn't heard anything from anyone who had actually bought one that I know of, so that makes me feel a lot better about the Sager that I'll probably be buying very soon.

Re: searching for a laptop
He is an avid gamer, and always wants the latest equipment. Late last year, he bought a fairly high-end model from Sager so he could game on the road. His desktop died shortly after he got it (some disk problem I think), so he just hooked up his desktop monitors/keyboard/mouse to the laptop, and just ran like that. It was faster than his old desktop anyway.
He just now got a new desktop, so I would say he ran it like a desktop for 8-9 months, probably on at least 10 hours a day (gaming/surfing/working). No problems that I know of.
