CarbonTwelve replied to  Bargainboogan on HP Pavilion 5-B010T Sleekbook Laptop from Harvey Norman $509
Why must it be bad? It's a low powered $500 laptop. It's not meant for gaming, and for everything other than gaming onboard graphics is...

Yes, you have to wait for it to be successfully funded, but you don't get charged anything until it is.

CarbonTwelve commented on "Mighty Big" Game Sale - PC Games Starting from $2
Heroes of Might & Magic V for $4 sounds like a pretty good deal. That's the only one that really stood out to me.

One requires typing, the other does not. Removing features people like and are used to is never a good idea.

Surprising to see Omerta there given how new it is. The rest of them have had similar prices before.

There are mods you can get for the Infinity engine games (BG, BG2, IWD, IWD2, PS:T) to set the screen resolution higher. Once you do that...

Exactly which 970 board is that? If it's a 970 Pro3, the second slot only runs at 4x.

The people buying a cheap pre-made system aren't likely to have 450GB+ of games. Besides which, I can say I'm a fairly 'hardcore' gamer...
