The Mythlogic experience thus far.

That’s a nice setup Bsan89, congrats. If I didn’t need a notebook that was somewhat portable, I would go with a setup similar to yours (SLI/CFX and a desktop CPU). The size (1-2 inches thicker) and weight (4+ lbs not including the size of the 1 and possibly 2 power bricks) difference is too much for me as I lug my notebook from home to work and back every day. Of course I do travel and take my laptop on some of the trips.

They said it should be 1 power brick.
I do the same, I'm a network admin. I plan to bring this laptop to work & take it home & I like to keep my room small & clean. I travel at-least once a year for business to train over-sea worker for a couple months. This laptop should keep me company.

I can tell you for sure, this laptop is staying away from my lap.
I plan to have kids. So on the desk it shall go.

I had a dual SLI back in the day (sounds like a long time ago but it was only 3 years or so ago. In the ever changing computer world, that is ages ago), it was a XPS17 red Dell gaming laptop. That thing was a beast and man was it big. For me, I want something that will #1 Last for at least 3 years (like my Dell Precision M6400 has) #2 Somewhat portable as I already carry an Asus EP121 tablet and various other electronics with me. TSA has a field day with me when I go through security. I travel quite extensively overseas. #3 will tackle games at high res when I have time to play them and #4 is fast as I do dabble in Photoshop.

I have not researched enough but everytime I saw dual SLI's, there were always two power bricks offered. I read somewhere that you shouldn’t really need two BUT every time I selected SLI (this was when I first started shopping around a few months ago before I realized how big the true "desktop" replacement notebooks are) it always stated + 1 additional power brick and adapter. Maybe that was only MSI . . .

Just an update, Josh is awesome in all of my correspondence with him as well. Granted, not a HUGE laptop purchase or anything, but even something very minor, they're more than willing to help.

Damn, went looking through the Mythlogic FaceBook and saw pics of some of the laptops they have painted. Now I am damn curious to know how much it costs to paint something like their Chaos 1212. The logo looks awesome as well.

When I inquired about the paint job in another thread, here's the info they gave in case you're curious:

You can have it in ANY color or design you want. We use nothing but High Quality PPG automotive paint. So if you can dream it we can paint it. Also we can do full airbrushing, its just more labor intensive so we can basically do any design in paint.

Because we have to clearcoat it to seal it all in, yea it comes in glossy and glossy only.

Warranty? We can't guarantee it will be exactly what you were thinking because there is a little color and design variation as its hand done. Also we've had paint basically peel off which we've replaced, but if someone key's your laptop or you chip it and scratch it, thats wear and tear =) But there is typically 3-4 coats of clear over 2 coats of color so its not a cheap spray job thats for sure.

Depends on the design, usually around $100 to get a lid painted.

Oh man, how long is it going to add to the build length if I were to add request for this? How much would a full paint be? I'm kind of leaning towards it to be honest.

Usually takes an extra 4 days to get something painted, again depends on exactly what needs to get painted. Full paint is all custom quoted and usually more as the labor to prep for paint is a LOT.

Hrm.... wierd that the the pollux 1612 doesn't have the option of 4x2GB like the specs you have. Was looking for just straight black on the lid... with no logo at all. Wouldn't mind mythlogic logo on the wristpad or under the screen. Guess I gota check out the facebook page...

Edit: actual color doesn't matter on lid, just wanted it blank.

Mythlogic definitely has quality care and customer service down pat. They really give you that level of detail and care you would expect from a much more prominent (and more expensive than Myth) boutique like Falcon Northwest, Origin or Doghouse Systems.
