Yep, guys, this is probably the last post I'll ever type on the Powerbook. It's being sold locally... :D

Anyway... looking for a gigantic and/or thick gaming laptop.... for around $750 shipped.

Criteria:

Huge as hell and/or thick as hell (well, fine, you anorexic lappies can join in too, I guess)
Lotsa RAM
Lotsa HDD
Dedicated video, preferably with both DVI and VGA outputs
Wi-fi
XP would be nice
And, if it's 17" WSXGA+ or WUXGA, I'd be enthralled.
And, if it's a P4HT, that would be cool. I mean, who couldn't love a desktop CPU that overheats in a laptop form factor? :p

Anyway, yes, I know this is a vague post. Just reply to the thread if you have something you think I might like. If I don't buy something by the weekend, I may have more money to spend, but just shoot out the offers when you think of them.

Oh, BTW, one's I've been looking at:
-Toshiba Qosmios. My dad has one, and I'm jealous.
-Dell Inspiron XPS (P4HT model)
-Dell Inspiron XPS (the one with the cool lights)

So, reply to the thread if interested!
Thanks!

I have a decent one, though it's not in the best aesthetic shape. It will definitely play some games. It's a Gateway 7422gx, and I would definitely accept significantly less that $750.

Benchmarks: http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2005/04/25/gateway-7422g-series-amd64-notebook
Specs: http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Gateway/7305GZ/4204sp49.shtml

Let me know. Like I said, you could save a lot of money off the $750 if this sounds good to you
