    Considering what a bang up job OCZ did with the Flex/Arima 840 I would avoid their DIY offerings.

    You'd think they'd at least be able to build a DIY netbook seeing as all you have to do is copy every other netbook out and not add a HDD or RAM but it seems they went ahead and done screwed it up.

    Using the nettop 230 with 4W instead of the N270 with 2.5W isn't going to do anything for their battery life. I hope that's a typo though and 230 is really supposed to be (N)280.

    I'm done with OCZ.....and that includes all the parts they buy from someone else and repackage as "OCZ"

    We may never completely know what happened between it and Flextronic, but the end result is customers left out in the cold

    no that appears to be an MSI MS-1722, i guess since i got cought for not reading good enough, i gota look closely. it also has the charachteristics of the MSI with the vent located on the right side, also the numpad is a bit different orientation.

    all I want is a whitebook with some 260(s) or 280(s) and an integrated 9400m for better battery life. Keep the same simple look. damn.

    I would say its a Vestel... It looks cheap and nasty, has the same basic chassis layout, very similar hinges / display bezel. It also has a european enter key which would lead me to the same conclusion. Don't think its MSI as it has a normal keyboard spacing.

    looks like newegg currently has this model, an interesting idea indeed, basically from what i gather the 9600gts is the actual name for the gt130m, which is essentially a 9650m gt, which has been manufactured in a smaller process, consumes less energy and has been clocked higher.
