    ocn,

    thanks a lot for the links. i bought a barebone w3v this morning and completed the assembly in about 2 hrs.
    it might be too long for some, but it's an achievement for me. i've never done stuff like that before :D

    i register to this forum also to say BIG thanks to everybody here.
    i had already decided for sony s73 (us code s380), but changed my mind when i found this forum.

    so far (after 12 hours :p ) i believe i've made the right decision.
    :asus:

    Choose the "ASUS Z63A Notebook Asssembly Guide" under the "ASUS Upgrade & Assembly Resources" section.

    Is there a link to an assembly guide for V6 series, or is it the same/similar to one of the others?

    I have sound knowledge in desktop hardware, but i've never owned a laptop before and buying 2x asus v6 on friday :p

    Bonjour à tous.

    Could you please tell me how to use
    these guides if I want to find
    stuff compatible with Asus W2
    notebook ?

    What about the REAL availability
    of 100 GB 7200 rpm 2.5" internal
    HDD compatible with the ASUS W2 ?

    The w2v is still new, are there guides out? ASUS should have integration guides out soon for that, they have it for the other units.

    And about the HD's, they are still rare but they are out - with a hefty price tag!

    Does anyone know if you can order a package (build-to-order) from the website identified in the initial post?

    It would be quite intriguing to go that route if there were enough of a cost savings to justify the effort/risk.

    ... No, they're a distributer and unless you have a license to sell computers, you couldn't get an account with them.
