An associate of mine at work recently built a custom laptop. Now I use the term laptop loosely. He's one of those people who actually understand ALL the internal workings of his computer. He wanted portability but wasn't willing to sacrifice ANYTHING in the way of power and options. So he literally built his own. He made his own case (it makes the 8886 look small). And he installed a desktop motheboard and basically all desktop parts (except for parts where it wouldn't lower performance). To combat the heat of his frankenstein he built in a liquid cooling system! Oh man, if I had the money (I think he spent upwards of $6k) this would be a fun option, it's about twice the thinkness of the 8886 and he basically attached a desktop 19" LCD on hinges as his screen! I don't even know what the thing weighs but he seems to like it. Of course having to flush the cooling system after about 12 hours of use would be irritating but still.....
I think I'll leave the insane stuff to him and stick with my "small" 8886.
