looking for review on ibuypower turion64 Battalion CL-Turbo

Hi everyone. I'm still looking for a laptop after all this time. I ended up buying a $300 laptop just for school, and still gaming on my desktop.

Can anyone tell me any opinons or reviews on the IBuyPower Battalion CL-Turbo with Turion64 processor? It looks reasonably priced and the paint job isn't too expensive either. Is this laptop worth the price, or am I just dreaming??

I'll let you know I'm not a power user at all. My desktop is my main computer, but I would like a laptop to game on. I mainly play RTS games, especially Warhammer. Sound quality isn't a big deal, but screen is important. I'm not looking for a crazy viewing angle or anything though. Is it a glossy or matte? How's the build quality? Anyone have any IBuyPower experiences they can share? Any replies would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

The laptop is based on the MSI 1029, which has generally garnered positive reviews. Here's one:

Regarding Ibuypower, after reading the following threads:

I decided that while their service might not be the best in the world, they at least seem to have thier hearts in the right place. Thus I ordered the same notebook you're looking at from them yesterday. If you're willing to wait, I'll let you know how it all turns out when I get it in a few weeks.
