Neon owns a Gateway Solo.. but I'm trying to get him to convert to a Sager.

9860 vs. 8790 are looking good in my book.

Now off to the world of customizing.

Boogieman117 · 12-02-2004, 08:55 AM

Just got the email from Luke about 10 minutes ago, it's about 30 minutes away from me!!

Here's the kicker though: the GF is getting me XP Pro from her college, but it's sold out right now!!!!

So, basically when this thing comes in, I have alsolutely no OS to run it with. THIS IS TORTURE!!!!

BTW: I got the news after drinking a 32 oz coffee-thingy from Starbucks and eating chocalate chip cookies for breakfast, this Boogieman is wired out of his mind...

Pyrobob83 · 12-02-2004, 10:04 AM

Lol, congrats. Sorry about the OS - don't you have something you can put on temporarily? And the most wired I've ever been was after drinking 6 shots of espresso in 20 mins. That was an interesting day

Boogieman117 · 12-02-2004, 10:18 AM

I have a copy of Win2000Pro, but I don't wanna tease the beast..

Boogieman117 · 12-02-2004, 11:50 AM

I REALLY HATE WORK.

But the laptop is home safe and sound!!!

NeonImpact · 12-02-2004, 01:18 PM

Boogieman117 · 12-02-2004, 01:55 PM

I gotta get the operating system first.. I'm not feeding it Win2000.. maybe find it in the deep, dark belly of the internet underground..

Boogieman117 · 12-02-2004, 05:11 PM

Let me know what other pics you want, but I can't do much without an OS.

w00t! Glad to hear that you got your new beastie. Hopefully XP will find its way to your 8790 soon.

Remember that if you want to install RAID, you'll need a USB floppy (and to disable the USB card reader in the BIOS before XP install).

Hopefully mine'll make it back today or tomorrow. It was in Tokyo yesterday, so no reason (other than @#$%in' customs) it shouldn't be here today

darthmorgoth · 12-02-2004, 05:24 PM

coolness!

illd · 12-02-2004, 05:40 PM

Boogieman117 · 12-02-2004, 08:01 PM

Toshiba Satellite 1405
1.2 Celeron
256 RAM

NeonImpact · 12-02-2004, 08:09 PM

Boogieman117 · 12-02-2004, 08:15 PM

Installing XP Pro now... and found one white pixel... considering how freakin big this screen is, ONE white pixel isn't ruining my day.
