    Well…I JUST pulled the trigger on a Asus G1 with the 100GB 7200 upgrade!

    I ordered through milestonepc after speaking with a great guy named Danny.

    It was a tossup between milestonepc and btotech; BUT what tipped the scales was that milestonepc offers a “price match” and faster delivery time. I ended up saving over 100.00 and I will be getting my system within a few days, as opposed to 2 weeks with btotech.

    Both companies handled my questions in a friendly and professional manor.

    Thank you to everyone that helped me save money and discover this GREAT gem of a system!

    I just ordered a new G1 about 2 weeks ago.
    This baby is supposed to land at home somewhen next week (slow delivery, I know :( ) but I can't wait to power that baby up ;-)
    By the way, does anyone know how to control the lights on the sides?

    The only options for the lights are on and off. They are a cute gimmick but I found myself turning them off after a few days and only turn em on when I am showing off my new toy.

    Oh man hearing these type threads make me ancy so badly. I cant wait to purchase mine (Gonna buy from MilestonePC because from what little price comparison I did, they were the cheapest with the 100gb 7200 HDD). I guess the photos don't do the actual machine serious justice, this laptop must be one bad ass looking computer :) oooo can't wait :D

    You'll definitely be happy with your decision. I've had this bad boy for a little over a month now and no regrets, and one of the best decisions I've ever made.
