I've been watching mine over the last couple of days and here are my observations: For the first couple of hours after turning it on, the temps will go through a sawtooth pattern where they will rise from about 46 to 60, the fan kicks...
I think I must have gotten one of the last ones. I was initially told that it was out of stock, but then it shipped on the night of the 16th and I got it the morning of the 20th. Perfect screen, perfect cooling, I must have lucked out....

I wanted to order from PC Torque, but I couldn't use a Canadian credit card with them. And I didn't see the point in paying more just to order from Sager directly. Anyway, now that my order's been processed, I'll just wait. I guess I'll...
