[QUOTE="Smell The Glove, post: 369636, member: 26697"] Well, the stuff I play is pretty much 3D RTS and shooters. I was willing to figure I might just get a gaming desktop somewhere down the road to play games in the future, but want to be able to play some stuff now. I've gotten myself too much into a Mac mindset already. I don't play games for hours and hours on end, so for short bursts, I think it will be ok. If it really is a problem, I can always get a cooling pad to help the fans out when doing more graphics intensive stuff. I once jury-rigged a pc laptop that was having fan problems (and shutting down from overheating) by placing the back end over the a/c unit in the hotels when I was on the road. Pumping cool air inside kept the thing cool and running when it otherwise would have been shutting down if I hadn't done that. [/QUOTE]
