I thought I could use my old laptop case, but not for this bad boy... it's huge! LOL So I went to Office Depot tonight and bought a rolling case that it'll fit in since I've been doing so much traveling lately. I also got a wireless mouse and some anti-virus software. DAoC was the first thing I loaded on it of course... LOL
Here's what it looks like.
CLICK ME I got the blue one. :D I'm giving my old Gateway laptop to my neices for their Christmas present. I'm sure they'll love it as much as I love my new one. :)
