    I read this forum for hours and I couldn't find anything helpful. I bought a barebone D901C. Does anybody know any websites that sell parts for it. I dont care about the video card; I know it's kind of hard to find, but I need CPU cooling fan, video card cooling fan, hard drive caddy, and battery! ANY HELP WILL BE VERY APPRECIATED!!! THANKS!!!

    The barebone doesn't need any extra cooling. For parts go to RJ Tech.

    Nice, that explains it. OK, go to RJ Tech for parts (you'll have to contact them).

    :D :D :D: 6edo :D :D :D

    Also, I think XoticPc might be selling parts themselves..not sure though.

    RJtech sells parts for sure.

    Do you guys think that the new E8400 will be compatible with my Clevo? Thanks!

    It hasn't yet been officially announced that it supports it, nor do I think it can.

    I will buy one anyway. I was looking for parts and RJ Tech, nor XoticPC have the parts that I need. So, I decided to go with a water cooling system. I have plenty of room to fit a water cooling system inside the case. But, I have to give up to SLI. Only one video card. I'm not a gaming guy. I do a lot of multimedia work.

    Dude, you should stick with the standard cooling system. Ask them for parts, not try and find them on their site.

    Seriously? It is big enough?

    I'd also recommend going with the standard cooling system . . . that is the way the notebook is designed to operate. I don't know what kind of warranty implications there if you mod it out.

    And as noted, support for the E8400 is unconfirmed. I'd go for a quad-core Q6600 since you do multimedia work, extremely powerful.

    I AM WAITING TILL I GET A WORD FOR THE 45nm CPUs THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH MY LAPTOP, AND THEN I'M GONNA BUY THE Q9550. IT LOOKS REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
