    Just thought I'd share that :p
    Their Desktops are even more awe-inspiring, but I wont mention them too much here ;)
    Heres the link to Falcon Northwest's Website if you want to check out their products, some of the custom paint jobs in the "Gallery" Section are incredible!

    Enjoy.

    If you see a laptop that's amazing and a great price.....it's most likely a Clevo :D

    Wow. You should be able to configure dual GTX, a Q9650 and a Blu-ray burner for less than their basic config. It's disgraceful.

    They look awsome but for that price ticket... no thanks. The memory isn't all that impressive either.

    Yeah they are way more expensive than Clevos, and they are overpriced, but does ANYONE here think that Clevos look better?
    No. Exotiks paintjobs are incredible, they are hand airbrushed and they look fantastic. Unique :)
    I'd love a Mach V desktop as well, in an off topic note...

    yea... some people still do not get the concept of ODM and OEM

    they still think these custom OEMs (AW, Falcon-NW, etc..) actually make their own notebooks.

    Just get a standard clevo (ie sager/whatever) and get it airbrushed if you want the look. Save yourself a couple of grand in the process ;)
