Lets hear your black Friday stories! Arrest, violence, greed?
I saw a lady trying to jack stuff out of another ladies cart. The lady turned around just as the other lady was pulling stuff out, good little argument there!
But I just went to Wal-Mart and didn't get there early enough to catch the good stuff.

I pretty much just use my computer to surf the net, so it doesn't need to be super fast or anything.
I'm going to pick up a new laptop here shortly, mainly because I want a TL and the ability to do some tuning on my vehicles.

I think I've narrowed my choice of laptop down to this one...

I can pick it up here in Alberta for a similar price.

That's where I'm lucky I suppose, I don't need anything really fast for what I want. I'll probably pick up a cheap (couple hundred dollar one).

Looks really nice my only comment is i would have went with the new ati vid cards (5870). And i despise asus motherboards after getting 2 DOA boards in a row. I rock gigabyte now and im very pleased.

Oh really? Should I steer clear of ASUS?

Asus is good. DOA can be a number of reasons that aren't always the manufacturer's fault.
Gigabyte is also good. I know MSI used to be good, but I'm not sure about the current products. EPox hasn't impressed me.
I have been watching the prices and all for the video cards and over the last 2 months, I haven't looked into ATI. I'm kicking myself now. I didn't know about the new cards. They are also all sold out on newegg.
