    Wait... according to your sig you also have a GT725? If you do, you don't need the Asus, either keep the 1722 to tinker with or sell it to buy a netbook

    Hmm asus mini range is nice, but the msi x3** and so on series are looking good.

    I would keep the 1722 as a modding project, save up for like a gtx 260 and a qx and try modify cooling.

    But thats just me, the guys down at project freeze have some great ideas.

    I tried to mod it before, The 9800m GT worked but the heatsink did not. If it sells on ebay then it does if not I will keep it and maybe buy a GTX 260m or 280m.. BTW the 4850 works in the 1722 aswell..

    Yeah the chipset is very good, and modding heatsink is a challange, but fun if you have the time.

    If i had money i'd jump all over that deal :)
    I hope it sells!
