I also just found this forum and want to express my deep gratitude for your efforts to keep the X1000 info available and to provide us a forum. I seldom post to forums, but this time I see a need to encourage someone and let them know they're appreciated.
I did a LOT of research before buying my X1050. It's a great machine and runs my games, WoW in particular. I had the more expensive model originally (X1030 I think), bought from Costco, with a 1.7 Ghz CPU, DVD Burner, etc. but returned it when I found this X1050 open-box special at BestBuy for 1/2 the price. All I added was another 512 of RAM. It's been rock solid for 2+ years now and is my main machine.
Thanks again,
Byron
