Very nice, but yeah we need more pics
Here is my primary laptop.
Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit
CPU: Intel Celeron 900 @ 2.2 ghz
Ram: 2gb DDR2 @ 800mhz
GPU: Intel GMA 4500mhd
Screen Resolution: 1280x800
Also, in the pics, if you are wandering why the product key sticker is really worn out, it's because I had another sticker on top ,of it and when I removed it, it messed up my COA. Luckily, I can still read the key after writing in a little bit of it.

Sweet-looking laptop, Windude.
My rig had a terrible scare the past two weeks or so (which is why I wasn't around; that, and I couldn't remember my password to access here on the other rigs I have here. ) as I was entirely under the impression my Sabertooth had died - and some of you, if you'll remember, know my experience with Asus boards - and it wasn't pleasant.
Tuesday I had the idea of having one last go at trying to resurrect it from the dead by flashing back to the original BIOS before purchasing the UD5H. Once I made my way to the Asus site I DL'ed the release BIOS but I also noticed 1403 which is the newest release, so I DL'ed that and went with it instead. I grabbed my flash drive, plugged it into the flashback port, hit the BIOS Flashback button and waited for it to finish flashing.
Anticipation.
I hit the power button and two seconds later my monitor's power light turns blue and there it is - ALIVE! And to think all of this began over me wanting to cut the tubing down to an appropriate size, which I'm just starting anew with. It's sitting in my living room with some newly acquired black tubing that I actually need more of before I can stuff her back in the case but the stock HSF isn't doing a bad job for stock speeds.
Michael,
Great story of fortitude and sticking with an issue. I've found that my level of stress goes up as I sort through my computer issues and as I get tired as hard as it is to actually go to sleep it's sleep that offers me the rest sometimes needed to wake up and often it renews my idea processes. Kind of like the re-boot that solves so much ......sleep on it and let your brain re-boot and often things get better quickly.
100% correct but what is it about us that we will work till it's fixed even when your'e so tired you can't really function. I've done it many times and regretted not taking a breath, some sleep and doing the job in less time and better. I fight just wanting it done and my system back to tip top form.
