Ordered Inspiron 6400 last night

[producertravis]

I ordered a Dell laptop, inspiron 6400 to use with my Mbox 2. Got a good deal and even if I have PT problems, I really need a laptop anyway. Any suggestions to get this thing running when it comes in other than DECRAPIFYING it of junk software? Any suggested external HDs? I will be buying ram for it soon as well.

I did order the windows install cd....

Good idea - the second my 6400 showed up i wiped the thing clean and then setup a dual-partition. one for music and the other for goofing around
