    To steal a quote from a great "Dilbert" episode.

    "If we don’t know what the {Laptop} is, we'll never agree on it's {details}. We’ll have meeting after meeting after meeting. Everyone will want to have input. Because input is much easier than doing real work. The only way we’ll ever get that many people to agree is… luck!"

    I feel the curse of the chicken man strongly in this thread.

    Well I dunno about you guys, but I found some possibly pretty high performing 18" laptop motherboards at a good price so I bought one to make custom cooling and eventually an aluminum case.
    Its for an Acer 8735g. Not insane specs but it supports core 2 quads and MXM 3.0 B... so I'll see what I can do with it. :)

    I think in general the industry is moving much faster than anyone in this thread has been thinking and the only way we can get anywhere is to grab something by the horns and run with it (so to speak)
