All i need for it now is a Swissgear Ibex Laptop Backpack and a notebook cooler.

The cooler i have my eye on is the NZXT Cryo LX Aluminium notebook Cooler 15" to 19" with 120mm Adjustable Fans.

But i cant seem to find one in the UK, and the ones i have found from the states dont deliver here, or on ebay will cost me a fortune.
So if any one can recomend a good notebook cooler for gaming would be appreciated, not too fussed about quietness but must do its job well and be handy if it had USB ports on it.

Will update this after benchmarking and more use.

Hi Toka

Just wondering the update situation on Windows 7 Home, did they install Sp1 before dispatch or do you have to do that ?
