Hello, I recently got 2570p of ebay for a nice price that my first intention was to resell in my country as i have a client that has been offering me double the price i paid to get him one but following this thread it seems more and more that my behemot M6600 (compared to 2570p) will have go away as it looks like i can match its performance and have a super portable system when needed. 2570p was a basic i5 3510m, 4gb ram and 500gb hdd, serial number checking says it still has 18 months of warranty left, already called hp in my country and they said warranty is usable regardless of ownership. Some initial plan about upgrades is: 1) get mSata to 2.5 Sata adapter - as my crucial m500 240gb is not even 6 months old and reselling would be a waste of money. Does anyone have any input which adapters to look into? Still havent look into them and dont know nothing except they exist. Living without SSD will be a nightmare. 2) Use odd as a caddy for 1tb toshiba drive i have around. 500gb it currently has will be added to my router as a network drive. 3) Get an eGpu setup - was looking into gtx560/660 as i have absolutely no need to use anything faster, but would still like an easy option to play on notebook panel. Still have a ton of reaserch to do about eGpu setups but the wast amount of information that Tech Inferno Fan and others provided and sorted into 1st post of this topic is amazing. If i get stuck with anything this community seems an awesome place to ask questions. Now i'm actually quite sad i sold my old msi gtx460 hawk talon attack card that was overclockable to 1ghz stable with no modifications 4) Get a quad core cpu. I'm really not looking for maximum performance here, but rather lowest possible price and coolest chip to some degree. Already have caddy, external monitor, some old 12v-16a noname atx psu and a radeon 7770 (which will be sold for a nVidia card) waiting. Now off to read last 30-40 pages of this topic and move onto eGpu topic for more information about what i need and where to order it.

Can a mod please delete this. Double post.
