i'm thinking about making a really low power rig since i don't wanna waste electric running a high power rig....

any ideas? this one will probably use to run some small games (conqueronline), starcraft, i probably grab an AGP 128MB graphic card for it...


i have a dell with a centrino 1.6ghz that can probably acts as a desktop, do u think that it's healthy to run it 24/7 (that how i use my computers)... i'll probably get a laptop cooler that plugs into the regular power outlet, a USB mouse.... if i decide to do it. i spent 700 dollar on this laptop, don't wanna ruin it :)... the thing actually have a better graphic card than what i use on my desktop...

i'm currently playing conquer online, small games that require atleast 16MB of graphic card ram, my mx440 got like 32MB, i can actually run 2 client at the same time, but at low resolution, if i go to 1280X1024 the game will lag like crazy, i'm thinking that the graphic card can't take it... forget about the TI in my sig, i sold that one a long time ago.
 
budget? i think something like a Dell 9300 would be a good laptop but otherwise, get the AOpen i915g micro atx motherboard, a 2.0ghz pentium m dothan, and a 9800pro and you're all set.
