    Hello, I was just curious as to whether or not any big names such as gateway, HP, and/or dell use parts from original design manufacturers like asus and MSI in their desktops and notebooks. I don't know if anybody's ever done it or not, but a short list of companies and their respective ODM's would be helpful.

    I didn't see any of the really big companies like Dell and HP on the list. Does that mean that they use their own designs???
