Buncha weather pussies. It was 8 degrees here this morning with 25 mph winds. We got our asses up and went to work.

Its not the general public per say, except the "trash" posting on FB about how they CAN NOT let their bad little fat babies go to school.

Really are dumb officials but then again, our infrastructure isn't set up to handle this. Our bridges will all freeze and we will lose power.

Rate this notebook I'm looking into getting from cyberpowerpc please.


I travel for work and am away from home 2-3 nights per week so I need a gaming laptop to game on the go:

17" HD LED 1920x1080 display
Core i7 4800MQ 2.7ghz 6M Cache
16GB DDR3 1600 RAM
Nvidia GTX 770M 3GB Vid Card
128 GB SS HD
1 TB 7200RPM HD
backlit keyboard
standard sound
standard wifi capabilities
Blu Ray drive
Win 7 64bit

How long (in your opinion) will this be able to run new games smoothly? This is about the limit of what I want to spend, but I could maybe go higher.

Tell us a price and we can tell you how much you are overpaying.

As for the mGPU, that is an GTX660 chip. Depending on the cost and how much you are willing to spend, I would look into a GTX775M or GTX780M if they have the options. The 1344cores vs 960cores will help you a GREAT deal in mobile gaming because clocks are so low.

Oh sorry, didn't notice.

I'm browsing on my phone, so not everything shows up inside the app until you get to checkout.

Gabencoin

Yeah seen that yesterday on OCN. That is what makes bitcoins so ghey and untrustworthy, all this random coin shtt. People don't understand or trust something which can just become a new thing. They want tradition and history to something to will put their trust in.

Not some silly fish and GabeN coin.

For you guys who didn't know, that is how Gaben became Gaben, Microsofts whole first name and first letter of last name for your username created our dear Lord GabeN.

And I am sure you Yanks would fare really well in a hurricane too.

It's all in what you're used to dealing with and what your infrastructure is built to withstand.

I'm tempted to get some of those 7870s, but at this point any additional cards would require the purchase of a motherboard, cpu, ram, PSU, storage, and a milk crate... so $200-300 in addition to the cards.

I can send you a MOBO/CPU/RAM but don't have any PSUs to lead you. My PSUs are tied up in builds and mining things.

Ah gotcha, well I purchased one of the Sapphires this morning. I feel terrible about it because I have too many mis matching cards. Should have purchased a 3rd PowerCooler.

We don't get them often but they do come by this way. When a hurricane enters the Chesapeake Bay things get nasty around here.

And I'll have to know that the capitol of this state was the capitol of the Confederacy so
