    Hey, i'm really looking forward to buy the HGL-30, but I want to build it myself, can you guys give me some sites with the lowest Hgl-30 barebones prices? I would really appreciate that!
    Thanks,

    (Hint: 3 Year warranty for 639 seems like the best deal there)

    I finished chatting with an ISTNC online representative. The guy knew his stuff, but they won't sell the GL30 without a processor.

    you can buy the barebone + all parts and it'll have the option of them installing things or just shipping it and you install everything

    I bought my laptop in a local hardware store, so if there's anything wrong with my notebook, I'll just go over there. Plus since it's a barebone, they can easily replace the defective component. So instead of sending away my notebook and missing it for a few weeks, I only have to head over to the store and let them repair my laptop and pick it up a day later :).

    Well, I really want to build it myself, not only that I will save a lot of money, maybe even $300, but also I want to do it myself to get some expierence on laptop building :)

    ...and by the way, when I complete my build, I will post the exact price for the whole laptop, and maybe a review
