    its about designing your own notebook netbook or gaming notebook and you can enter in your crazy ideas and may see it made in the future models.

    for all you asus fanboys/girls this is dream come true.

    I just found this site today.
    I was going to submit my dream PC which would have been a drawing of a new graphics card in MXM II format for the C90s. Maybe they can use some real intuition and ingenuity to adapt new hardware for an old chasis.

    Asus is dropping the user customizable whitebox lines very soon, including the C90, and has publicly stated that they are moving to pre-built sales only.

    They never go back and offer revisions to systems that are at or near EOL, i.e. the C90s.

    That is a real shame to hear, I really wanted them to refresh the C90 series, create a 17" equivalent, keep the whiteboxes coming. :(

    There is the C90p (or whatever -xx it is), but it's unclear what level of continuing support (if any) Asus is going to devote going forward. There's no substantial market for this kind of customizable thing anymore that is only going to be sold through a very small network of dealers who have to offer warranty services on the units they produce.
