    I was looking at this digital storm all in one, and it looked very attractive, but I already have a mini itx system, and was wondering who the ODM was, and if it was clevo. Any leads? I would love to buy a barebone model.

    I was thinking the same thing, but if I click Customize, the price is gonna continue to go up, especially with a 10 core Broadwell-E ;)

    I refuse to get anything higher than a quadcore with eight threads until I see games and software I use actually using the cores. For now its just a ridiculous expense for something I don't need.

    The cheapest I was able to get it down too without getting parts I would never use was 1751$, with no gpu, no hdd, an i5 6600k, a gigabyte itx mobo, and 16gb of 2666mhz ddr4. I'm still reluctant on whether that is good value considering I am essentially paying for a case with an $800 screen, but I carry my mitx systems around a lot, so it may be worth it. I could definitely use the build I put in there with a Sandisk 960gb ssd and itx 960 I have laying around, but I would love it if digital storm offered barebones lolol.

    You could ask them nicely...

    I have asked about eliding the CPU / RAM before, as I have my own - for a laptop build - and they allowed it, made the price drop a few hundred $, so worth asking.

    Some places will also allow you to send in parts you already have and they will put it in the build, they aren't covered under warranty, but still another way to save $.

    did some searched and found out they are produced by a company named loop int ltd. nothing else and no site to buy from.
    there is loads of barebones around but none include a flexpsu

    best site i could find was https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/fusionII-34/

    with the cheapest specs i could choose it was the same price as any barebone i could find.

    Found this post searching for it myself, and Im inn the same position as you, ordering it now.
