Looking to game well, but not for $2,000 dollars? Well the PowerPro R 12:17 might be for you. Bought it with OS for ~ $1,400. Not bad. Enjoy this unboxing/review video. Sorry for the glare.

* SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE, BUT THIS LAPTOP IS THE BAREBONE OF THE MSI 780DX NOT THE 780R. THANKS.

We’ve teamed up with NVIDIA and Intel to create a laptop that can play next-gen games on a 17-inch screen, while weighing under 7 pounds, and being 0.88 inches thin.

The Switchblade UI puts your hotkeys, macros, and skills on 10 adaptive tactile keys with a matching icons. Beneath that, an ultra-sensitive LCD multi-touch panel displays in-game info such as quests and chat messages. It can also be used as a multi-touch track pad if you want to leave your Razer mouse at home. Everything you need to dominate is at your fingertips.

I had to buy an OEM computer in a very short amount of time for under 500 euros (screen included).
So, what I got is an Acer x3200 with:
-a Acer mobo with locked BIOS even though the chipset is nVidia (720a)
-a slightly dated AMD Athlon x2 4050e (2.1GHz)
-4 Go of no-brand RAM
-a DVD Burner/Reader
-2x 150Go Hard Drives
-nVidia GeForce 9500 GS (512Mo)

My project so far is to:
1. Change case and PSU : Antec Three Hundred and Corsair TX-750W
2. Change GPU to a HD4890, GTX 275, HD5770 or HD4870
3. Change Mobo and CPU to DDR3 – Quad or x3 core Athlon or Phenom CPU – SLI or Crossfire compatible
4. Screen, Keyboard, Mouse, Sound Card…

I’m going to do this over several weeks as my budget is very limited (I’m still in college).
Any questions or suggestions – hit me up in the comments or at computernoob44@hotmail.fr
