Hey all,
I just joined the Navy and I'm looking to get a gaming computer. Portability isn't such a big factor since I probably won't be aboard a ship. Anyways, should I go with the Gateway P7807U FX (for $1399) or the custom desktop below (for about $1900). Mind you, if I went with the laptop I would still have to buy the G9 mouse and Nostromo Speedpad, so that's about an extra $150+, which means there is only a $300 price difference.
Custom pc components:
- SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model SH-S223Q - OEM

P.S. I forgot to mention that I have the Creative Gigaworks s750 7.1 surround sound system, so if I got the laptop I would have to get an external sound card to use the full 7.1, which would add another $150 or so.
