    Outstanding information, OP. I've never dealt with resellers before, since I owned a couple of Dells (posting on one right now, in fact!). Pretty surprised to see that these guys have top-notch reputation for their customer service and warranty. Combine that with competitive prices and airflow-friendly chassis -- I'm sold. :)

    This FAQ is more like "who to shop with if you're in North America", as it's sorely lacking any helpful options for international buyers.

    If you're going to call this the 3.0, as a follow up to Gophn's 2.0 guide, you need to at a minimum put in as much effort as he did. Only including sellers who post on this small forum is shortsighted.

    It does seem that way especially as I volunteered two Australian re-sellers, contacted them about if they wanted to be on this list, got the required information off them that Mr Mysterious asked me to get from them and forward this onto him. This was all done many many weeks ago and I see that the re-seller page has been updated well after I past on the required information to him.

    I and everyone else realise that Mr Mysterious is doing this in his own time and appreciate the effort he has put in but if you ask for help by asking for other vendor recommendation and people supply them to you it would be nice to put them up even if its just a little hyper link with the country name next to it.

    I apologize for not putting the info up sooner, but the college semester is starting soon, and I have to prepare. I do visit on here every day and see if there's anything that needs to be done.

    As discussed before, this is not a "North American" resellers guide. This is a guide for the resellers that have proven themselves in the Clevo subforum, who post regularly and get good feedback. Again, not meant to be a comprehensive list, just a little guide to help most people.

    @Kevin: As opposed to putting in every reseller I can find, regardless of whether they provide good service or not, and post it on my guide? I've heard a lot of accounts of people who have used Gophn's guide and have been misled to finding bad resellers. I'd rather post a few good ones rather than posting all of them and risk misleading someone. I trust all of the resellers I have posted in my guide.

    Update: I have added Affordable Laptops and LBO to my resellers guide. Hopefully that makes everyone happy. :p I do however, need the link to the profile of Jeff-Y@AL. Could someone find that for me?

    Great Guide :)

    As I was reading through other threads in the forum, I realized that a lot of people do not know what the acceptable temperatures are for their notebooks under various situations (idle, different levels of stress). This is why people are worrying when their notebook reaches 70C during gaming. I'd suggest adding a section to this guide which addresses the matter :)

    I was wondering if you could update to include more resellers? (even though they might not have a presence on this forum). I found alot of them by simply going through the old Clevo guide posted a year or two ago, and having an updated list (especially for those in the EU) would be great.

    I am sure that there are resellers in many parts of the world that are reputable indeed! I have heard a lot of good things about MySN, and DevilTech.

    Why not ask the OP to include these. :)

    I just found these guys in UK: Gaming pc, custom pc, gaming system, custom gaming pc, gaming pcs

    Mr_Mysterious: May I suggest you add another section to your initial thread something like: "Other Resellers (Unverified)" where you add everyone else who you don't want to include with the "big guys". Preferably by region. It would be very helpful especially for those who don't live in the USA.

    Email them and see how they respond. I bought Clevo barebones from various resellers across Europe, communication has never been a problem and none had a single word in English on their website.

    :(
    Your dealer or reseller can sell you a keyboard for any of the models.
    You would need to contact them directly for this.
    You may not be able to get any stand alone keys. Sorry.

    In this case it may be best for you to call Sager at (800) 741-2219 and order this part to be shipped to you.

    Many times they have these in stock at the depot. :)

    However, it will be good to add links to the neccessary accessories you need for your Clevo/Sager; they are sure hard to find =(
