The AC adapter for the Aurora M7700 is also desktop-like. It weighs a little over 3 pounds (1.4 kg) and offers theoretical maximum power delivery of 220 Watts. Under heavy load this little power brick heats up to just over 129°F (54°C). A fan inside this power supply wouldn't hurt.
Size comparison: the HP's power supply in the front and the Alienware's power brick to the rear.
On the Aurora M7700, the ports and connectors cluster most heavily on the left and rear sides, just as on the Asus A7J. The Alienware unit is the only test candidate that offers two Firewire ports and four separate audio inputs and outputs, including an optical SPDIF output.
A bunch of ports and connectors populate the left side
Beneath the PC Card slot you'll find a powerful 7-in-1 memory card, which can even accommodate a Microdrive device. The rubber card reader cover and the plastic dummy PC card undoubtedly keep dirt and dust at bay, but are too easy to lose.

Oblivion has got to be the best MMORGP I have ever played. WOW can not compare to how well the game fells and plays. The Ups: Awsome Graphics is a complete understatement, the game offers vanity mode and 1st person vew, costomizeable characters, and loads of weapons and quests and guilds. The Downs: Glitchy combat when rendering wolves and dogs... and thats it... BUY THE DAMN THING... YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!!!!!
