well i ordered 2 BARE bones and i mean bare bones jlf92's.. question

these dont even come with the dvd drive but the price was soooooo good i could not try them. can anyone tell me (i ordered one last time from zipzoomfly but it came with the dvd drive) how these super bare bones come. i know any slim dvd drive will slide in and fit but what about the door trim. do these bare bones come with the plastic piece to make them fit right or do you HAVE to buy the clevo one. i guess i could change my order but they want like 70-80$ just for the dvd drives that can be had for like 30$ on newegg..

so has anyone done this and if so what did you do to trim the drive. they appear to be standard flat doors like the ones toshiba use among ohers so i may be able to score them even on ebay..

info fast please these are for military family we have on the way overseas... i got them 2 day air so i hope to see them asap.

lmk with any info thanks

 

Where did u buy it from?
I note that avadirect is the cheapest....Do you know other sites ...Other than common like xotic...Etc..

 

You just buy ussual dvd drive and it'll will 100% fit. Barebones are made to fit CBB standards.

 

yes a few but im going to wait to see how this goes and if i get them and all is okay before posting where they came from.. but if this goes well these are a KILLER deal

 

Can u pm me the site u bought jfl92 cuz am serious to buy it now .
I dont usually use dvd so i will buy it without it to put my cigarette in .

 

as soon as it gets confirmed ill send it to you

 

edit i was able to add the dvd drives... wow insane prices....

480$+sh for the jfl92 with wxga barebones...insane. i picked wsxga though.. not much more

pm sent

 

Some DVD drives from Toshiba laptops won't work. I think it is a drive firmware difference.

 

they told me it should work fine.. if not at that price i buy a cheap drive..

 

PLace where you got them? I'm looking for one for my cousin.

 

remember guys these are stripped systems.. as per a pm with xotic just be sure YOU ARE WILLING TO HANDLE the leg work and support on these.. some people are okay with that and others are not.. so that will depend on you. i know for sure this place is legit but i highly doubt they do much after sale warranty in which case you would have to go back to compal directly.. just a though...

 

Well what's the real question regarding the barebone notebooks.
We do sell them to several people and to several countries, warranty goes trough us when you bought them.
So think about us in the future: www.btonotebooks.nl

 

i looked on your site and could not find them.. how are your prices compared to the ones i posted??

 

On the site you can only find the end-user price no dealer price.
Let me check the price on Monday and I will post it or send you an PM.

 

yeah i have all reseller paper work also if you need that. i own 2 legit retail companies. the place i ordered from said they can set me up as a wholesale account if i want to sell compal lol.. i may look into that..
