Epic	The AMD Processor was a good find, I'm glad to see us dropping some AMD every now and again instead of going pure Intel. Very well built, a rig of this caliber for under 500 dollars? Nice job.
Lame	LED Overhaul, while LED's do make a case look cheap in my opinion, they arn't a requirement. We need a case for the non-LED fans. I suggest the COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW, now for 49.99 on Newegg, it's running you a little more then the case here, but it's sleek, and meets all the requirements. Also, your computer always runs better when it knows it looks good.
Overall	Nice job on this build, nothing I'm really upset about, other then the LED's.
Other Thoughts	We should be getting some coupons from Newegg, seeing as they monopolize GN right now. Recommend Buying if you have the money, but as always, use this as a guideline, take pieces from this and build your own customized rig, you know what you're going to be doing with it better then we do, and we're always happy to help in the forums.

Epic	Nice if you like Asus, though I'm just repeating the other guys reviewing this before me. Nice range of prices and nicely displayed specs for each laptop.
Lame	Could use more choices, maybe two for each cost group or more in between cost groups? Asus heavy. No Dells? Many of us hold personal grudges against Dell, but they're good laptops for the computer-ignorant, I believe they manage to get the job done and should have at least one representative.
Overall	Helpful, even if you can't find your specific laptop here it starts planting ideas in your head.

Epic	Pretty thorough, if you've got the money, just look towards Steve here to spend it for you. Also, adding the surge protector was quite funny, and adding that it's 17 big ones. If you've the 7 grand for the rest of the rig, I highly doubt you're worried about the cost of the surge protector.
Lame	It's time to move on Steve, Nvidia is old news, bring on the ATI! You also limit people with the rig, I know it's an example, but maybe provide some "or"'s for the populace; show a man a rig and he'll envy it until it's obsolete in a year or two, teach a man to rig and he'll still envy the ones he can't have for another year or two.
Overall	Comprehensive, though I'm not sure how practical these "Monsters" are going to be, they're still entertaining to read, plus, you could be looking to upgrade a single part of your rig and find top of the line single pieces to add.
Other Thoughts	You're pictures are not very clean Steve, can't you feather edges or something in Photoshop? And maybe you should leave drawing the monsters to someone we are able to pay a good salary to, I laughed a little when I saw your lochness. Oh yea, the "Recommend Buying?" I thought that was hilarious to, can't decide if I should put yes (if you have the money) or no for buy a less expensive rig and upgrade it as needed.
