Here's the deal, I got money to spend, but would much rather spend it on camera gear so whoever can sell me (or find me a deal which I end up buying) a good laptop will get hooked up with some free shit

What I need:
Dual Processors (This is pretty standard)
At least 2gb of ram (Must have room for minimum 4gb)
15" + Display
The higher the possible resolution the better

What I don't need:
A light laptop (I don't care if it's 20 lbs)
Good battery life (I don't care if it's a 20 minute battery life)
An OS or any other software (I can install it myself)

So yeah, if you got something for sale post it. If you find a good deal, post it. If you have any comments or suggestions...post them!

I know what a shuttle PC is.

Do you know what a laptop is?

A shuttle PC doesn't work for me because I don't want to be lugging around a monitor, mouse and keyboard.

I need a laptop which main use will be a portable desktop.

Definitely! I was going to pick up the HP that was on woot.com a few days ago but it sold out before I had a chance.

The computer will be used mainly for day to day office use, along with advanced photo and basic video editing.

I'd be stoked on something that ran quiet and did not overheat, as the computer will most likely be running 24/7. The higher the max resolution is the better since I'll be doing a lot of photo work. Warranty is also a must, whether it comes with one or an extended one can be purchased. Built in webcam would be nice, but not needed.
