    Anyway I can make my laptop not look like a giant grey/black brick when I get it? I bought it for power, not looks, but it'd be nice if someone didnt accidentally pick it up and use it as construction material. Preferably something I can do myself or will only cost a couple hundred $$$. If I was going to put anymore into it I'd just have bought an alienware or NW Falcon.

    Well, remove the tag, and you're all set, methinks.

    It's a bit Land-Roverish. I like that a lot. Celebrate the low-key instead of trying to make the land rover into a ricer :p

    Haha...true. It sort of reminds me of the opening of Fast and the Furious Tokyo drift... When the junker car beats out the Dodge Viper.

    Tricked out Alienware's won't be able to touch my big black box.

    I take testosterone boosters (I lift a lot of weights) if that helps your image.

    You can get a custom skin, custom paintjob, or even custom laser etching (pretty inexpensive.).

    I was actually looking at that before I got my Sager. It's a bit cheaper...but I decided against it due to its much weaker processor.

    Know at least 10% what you're talking about before you post.

    1) the Sager uses desktop processors, nothing that Asus puts out in their current chipset will ever touch it before it gets replaced by something else that the w90 won't be able to fit.
    2) You can replace the GPUs, and CPUs, in all of Sagers high end machines.
