[amdxborg]

Hey guys, I've gotto send the names for the gauntlet, so who's it gonna be for Taboo. It will run from the 21Feb to 14March.

 

[ravana]

sorry guys, been out of touch with what's goin on with taboo for a while now.....just noticed our victim went past 10k....so I thought I'd pop in here and check on the team.

I got mine from boldata.com They're really good there. Great service and speedy delivery.

Boldata M37EW
P-M 1.8
1 GB ram
9700 mobility video
15.4" WUXGA 1920x1200 (absolutely GORGEOUS)
60 gb HD
DVD-ROM/CD-RW (got a DVD+RW on the desktop...)
intel 802.11 b/g wireless
built in webcam
2:15 hr battery time (upgradeable to 12-cell with ~4-4.5 hr)

$1734 USD

There are a lot of options though of course. More/less ram, bigger/smaller hd, faster/slower cpu, etc etc.

I didn't get an OS installed, but the main thing I love about these guys is they sent a cd with all the drivers I needed and no extra crap at all. No trials to AOL, no msn sign up program, no trialware etc. I just loaded my copy of XP, popped in their cd and clicked to install every driver. Rebooted and everything worked with no bloat. Linux was also very very easy to set up and install as well.

Great laptop, great experience, and I'd definitely buy from them again. Actually, if I didn't buy all my own desktop parts locally and build myself, I'd buy desktops from them too.

I got a PM back from Schadenfroh & he politely declined.

I'll have to pick another victim to PM but unfortunatly I don't have time to do it now.
Will do it tomorrow

Congrats silverpig on hitting 10K!
Don't forget to download you 10K cert:
You can get larger version by changing the # after "size=" to 1 or 2
And add color by adding "&color="(1 or 2) at the end of the URL

 

[Assimilator1]

I was gonna see if Hasche Grumble - Visionary wants a boost but he's at 9.4k anyway atm so it wouldn't take long enough for the gauntlet.We can boost him afterwards if needbe.

I've PMed cavdraco & Migroo ,I'm also going to create a 'S@H lottery win' thread for them.
I see Migroo has been flatline for about 3wks now ,I hope he hasn't stopped S@H ,I'll check 1st.He also hasn't been to AT forums since mid Nov so I don't know if we'll get a response in time.
Btw I'm picking out the older members 1st in case you wondered.

Inccidently Migroo joined us in 9/01 not 6/02 ,he changed his name (he added Team Anandtech)

[edit]sorry for the lacking of voting option on this occasion but I think borgie nees to know very soon for the gauntlet race.Hope its ok

 

[HayHauler]

That's fine. Why don't you give Borgie our TABOO team name so that if we end up
needing to use that one, it is part of the gauntlet already?
Good Idea huh?? That's why I'm el Capitan...hahahahaha

HayHauler

How longs the gauntlet on for? ,maybe we should just switch to Team TaBoo?, seeing as I haven't had a replie from my PMs yet.

 

[HayHauler]

I think that would be wise...
