If only you could custom build laptops too.

maingear, cyberpower, etc all make custom laptops.
[QUOTE=spawn camp3r;31143334]maingear, cyberpower, etc all make custom laptops.[/QUOTE] That isn't exactly like building it yourself. I'm excited for the day when you CAN build your laptop from parts in the same way you do a desktop though. I doubt it will happen, sadly.
there are some barebones laptops out there, pretty sure OCZ used to do some but I don't know of any others off the top of my head yeah some parts like the mobo are proprietary and have to be because every laptop is different size/shape/whatever, but standardised stuff like the RAM, CPU, wireless NIC, MXM graphics cards etc. are bought separately and you install them yourself but it's not worth it as it doesn't have the benefits of building your own desktop, like there's not really anything to customise on a laptop and it ends up being more expensive

Don't have a camera on me right now, but here are some pictures of the laptop: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?nm_mc=AFC-TechBargains&cm_mmc=AFC-TechBargains-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA&Item=N82E16834200142[/url] It's an amazing laptop IMO.

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;31113473]Take that red button and rig it to be the power button on your computer[/QUOTE] I did do that, or not yet. I have taken it home. Will try to do that later when I get time.

[IMG]http://gyazo.com/d6fc86db8d687204ccdabb4ff02ec1a5.png[/IMG] I would post pictures of the computer and it's insides, but I don't have a camera on me at the moment, besides i'm upgrading all of it soon enough. Also, I assume the CPU is getting a tad too hot :v:

I've lost a few components because of this issue (namely, an GPU and a PSU), so I absolutely make sure that my personal computer has fantastic thermal management.
Not sure if I want to switch cases. I'd like to get a HAF case. Do HAF cases work with Micro-ATX boards? :v:
Yes.

[QUOTE=Thor667;31180790]DDR3 on socket 775 ....[/QUOTE] yes, those boards exist.
[QUOTE=Thor667;31180790]DDR3 on socket 775 ....[/QUOTE] I have the same thing. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ftHWM.png[/IMG] [editline]17th July 2011[/editline] Quite a few 775 boards support DDR3.
Im saying it as more of a bad thing not that i didnt know they exist.
What CPU cooler are you buying Thor? It's a..late question but there's nothing else to discuss.
[QUOTE=Thor667;31182089]Im saying it as more of a bad thing not that i didnt know they exist.[/QUOTE] How is it bad? Doesn't matter to me really since I got the cpu, motherboard, and ram for free anyway. Plus I'm upgrading soon too.
[QUOTE=Makol;31182555]How is it bad? Doesn't matter to me really since I got the cpu, motherboard, and ram for free anyway.
