Hi Tobuk, can you tell me whether the NZXT Cryo LX works powered by the G72GX usb port?

Yes it does, but you cannot plug them in side-by-side. One USB needs to be plugged in on the left side of the laptop, the other USB on the right side. It was the same way with my old P-7805u. Note though that the fans will not run at 100% because it cannot get enough power from USB ports. It's not that much of a difference, but the fans do spin faster when using the DC plug.

Thanks for the information Tobuk. the only reason that i have to go with the G72GX-RBBX09 is because I have a Repair Refund from BestBuy. It is the only one that comes close to what i had for the same price. new system is 1299.95 old system was 1799.95 unless you know of anyother laptops that are as powerful that run for the same price??

For what price? $1300 or $1800? You probably won't find a better one in the $1300 range... if you're looking at $1800 to BestBuy they sell an Alienware M17x online for $1600 or so...

Really good I think. Headphones sound great (and there's an S/PDIF jack if you can use it). Speakers and HDMI audio sound good too. The speakers on the laptop are decent, but they do get loud because there are 4 of them.

I'm not sure if you can hook up a surround sound system straight off the laptop... I haven't tried, but maybe the jacks can be configured for it. One of my old computers did that... it could change the mic port and both headphone jacks into the 3 needed for surround output (sub, front and rear).

Not sure exactly, but I'll try to find out. Only thing that stands out to me is the sticker on the front saying EAX Advanced HD 4.0.

It uses Realtek HD Audio Manager to adjust settings, but I'm not really finding any kind of specs info on what exactly the card is capable of.
