Oh... my... gosh.
I hope you realize that you could've had a machine way better than that for the same price. Unless you were dying for the portability over performance, you just ripped yourself off SOOOOOO badly... And even worse so if you consider the kinds of deals you can get on ebay for new custom machines.
This for instance. Adding $100 for an OS, $200 for a big monitor, $100-$125 for the other 2GB ram and $100 for a hard drive, this machine would STILL probably cost less than $1000. With a 3.4ghz quad core processor, nonetheless...

Laptops are neat for their portability, but what you sacrifice for it, while paying MORE, is just insane.
