yes im sure you have plenty of these threads, but here's what im looking for anyways

under $2000
1920 x 1200 resolution on the screen
512 mb+ VRam
vista ultimate (or a no OS system under $1900)
2.4+ GHz CPU, dual (or quad...)
4 GB @ 800 mhz memory
200+ GB HD that spins at 7200
4+ USB 2.0 ports
and preferably a 1+ year warranty
 
This is the best I could find (from America) (only 2Gb RAM, and 160Gb HDD unfortunately) and it's $1,999

Although, there is this - it's £800, but has pretty much everything you've specified (and you can always customise it if there's anything extra you need). The only trouble being that I don't know if they ship to America. You should send them an e-mail and find out.

EDIT: The £800 laptop is a 15.4" screen with 1440x900 resolution, but I don't think you need much more than that. My laptop is running the same and it's perfect

EDIT AGAIN: With Vista Ultimate, the price is brought up to £836 which, according to www.xe.com/ucc , is about $1,650
 
so far this is the one that i like the most, it has everything i want except the memory speed and the hard drive are slow.. and as far as ive looked all the build it yourself laptops are more expensive (especially alienware), the sager one that would meet my specs would cost 2400

the other one im looking at is this
only 3 usb ports, but 2x 200 gb 7200 HD's, and a slower memory speed (il probably switch the memory tho)
 
Build your own... All you basically do is buy a cheap barebones laptop and mod it to your specifications... There are instructions online on how to do it, and it'll probably be cheaper than buying from a vendor.

I'm thinking of doing it myself and seeing how it works... I can't bring my pc to ohio since it's huge...

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
