Any advise on carrying a 230 x 405 x 501 (WxHxD mm) pc to my new uni campus? I don't drive and live in Essex, is there any bags or whatever that can accommodate this? Or should i not bother, basically it is this or buy a laptop. I have laptop options already but realistically i should save as...

Will i find any problem changing the fans? Plan on switching them to Noctua NF-R8-REDUX ones. I can buy 4 pin to USB adaptors. This cooler has the advantage of moving the fans to the upper corners, the optimus V laptop could use this positioning to good use.

Can you install reference GPU drivers off the nvidia site? Someone bought a Gigabyte gaming laptop and said on another forum that Gigabyte have said do not update drivers. They state something about manufacturer's having there own vbios or something, rendering reference drivers unusable...

May build a rig using one of these, looks sweet.

Likely to purchase this in September, is 1866MHz ram ok in this? Picking up some corsair ram before and windows 7 too. It actually saves me money leaving only 2GB in the configuration, was going for the skyfire, however, it's just a lump of cheap plastic.

Does the Skyfire IV sound suck? Was thinking if it does, i'll buy the Asus Xonar U3 USB Soundcard. Also, i already have a Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260, will it be blacklisted like Lenovo does to it's laptops? Reason why i got rid of my Y510P.

Is windows pre installed on the laptops, rather install myself.

Zalman ZM-NC3500 Is this intake or exhaust?

Is windows 7 going to work with the vortex IV, another retailer have said windows 8 is only compatible.

Just wondering how much difference MX-4 makes on temps? I am buying a laptop cooler with the laptop anyway.

What can you upgrade with the upgrade service?
