How much will that thing weigh?

8-9lbs probably
If you want a laptop that will sit at home and generate massive amounts of heat, that will be a great computer. I don't think you can find a better gaming machine, that card is about equivalent to a Radeon 9600
Keep in mind that when you awnt to add RAM to the system it will cost you dearly right now, DDR2-SODIMMs ain't cheap
Otherwise, pretty nice deal w/free shipping

Dell 9300 with coupon! Wait for the next round of $800 off coupons, some states don't pay tax as well.

Not that bad, but I'd go with a Pentium M or A64.
