    How comes I didn't think about that??! Lol

    No seriously now, they do not ship outside the US or UK.

    I wish to build my favorite parts on their site. But how do I ship it?

    Note: I live I Iraq :)

    I checked the website you gave me, J.

    They got good options to choose from. Still, that offer from amazon is cheaper than the one I made in this site (xoticpc) by about $200 .

    Sure they charge for the after sale services.

    Is (xoticpc) trustworthy? Anyone?

    EDIT: surely if xoticpc have a good reputation then they are safer than a random laptop on Amazon.

    Amazon is like eBay, but without protection for buyers. A person I know ordered a movie on Amazon before and it was a bootleg DVD that someone made in a theater with a crappy video camera. The return shipping ended up being more than the movie was worth, so they didn't return it... Just beware of where the computer is coming from. People can sell their own products on there just like on eBay.

    XoticPC has a great reputation. They also price match! So, contact XoticPC sales and have a discussion with them.

    Ya, payingng $200 more sounds reasonable, though I will not make use of their after sale services. But better safe than sorry.

    Any possible discount you know about on XoticPc, other than the default %3 ?

    This means they will match any price on the internet from a reputable seller of the same specifications.
