i've been playing with mine all afternoon since it arrived today. you guys won't regret it

This is my first post at NBR, but I have been reading what everyone has to say for a couple of months now. My PowerPro 8:14 showed up today also. I was stuck at the office until 5:00 (well I may have cut out a few minutes early today) so I just finished with the windows install. My configuration is almost identical to HchorionicGT's in the post above, except I don't have the DVD burner. Haven't had time to install any programs but firefox yet. But now I'm sitting on the back patio typing this instead of being tied to the desk inside. That alone is a big improvement.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone whose posts I have read over the last few months. Who knows, if I hadn't found NBR I might have ended up with a Dell. And a special thank you to Donald for the great customer service.

You probably won't see me post much, but I'll be hanging around following the Compal forum.

I bought mine on Friday! I went with XoticPC because they had a good price, friendly people, and took American Express (get 5% off all purchases and frequent flyer miles so I kind of have to use it).

The guy (Justin) at Xotic has been extremly helpfull and bends over backwards to make sure everything is just right, the other reccomended reseller I talked to here (Donald) was great and very helpfull and knowledgable too! But had to use the Amex card :V You realy couldn't go wrong with either of the companys as far as CS goes, no sales pressure at all just information and seem like they realy want to help you. I've dealt w/ Dell and Alienware and there is no comparison. If your 'iffy' about going with a reseller vs a big company don't be, give them call and see for yourself.

for anyone worried about gaming i am using the stock nvidia settings and playing F.E.A.R. without a problem on the settings that the computer decided for me. I think that the game looks absolutly stunning althought there is a little pixelation on the body of the people nothing big and i think that the game is running at descently high settings probably around a "medium" to "medium-high" setting

I don't know why, but I have some problems with Counter-strike 1.6 (not Source)! I've turned off vertical sync and inserted all the console commands (such as cmdrate, updaterate, rate, ect..), but have a few problems randomly while playing.

While I am playing, the game would randomly skip frames sometimes (kind of freeze up for a few frames). This happens most often after I get killed from a headshot, or my teammates are using commands ("Need Backup!", "GoGoGo!", ect...). Or when there is a vote map change that pops up. Please, help me out.

By stock nvidia settings, you mean without overclocking right?
