Well, how can I build my own laptop?

Well, it's kind of dissappointing that game performance and power conservation doesn't mix, so for building a new computer (not pretty soon--maybe next year), I'll just have to live with a graphics card consuming about 100 watts of power.


It'd be so cool for an ATI X2950 XTX video card with a 180nm processor to run at 1% effeciency, leaking out 500 watts of power!


Kind of like saying gamers love to waste a lot of electricity and pay $250+/month for electric bills just for having a computer running 8 hours a day!
