    WOW, seems like novatech have been a little busy with clevo recently. it appears that they have just released an absolute BEAST. The x90r has 3 hard drives, blue ray and comes with the x6800 processor alongside dual 8800 gtx cards. MMMmmm If i had that type of money i may be interested. I hope the m17x isnt as much as that beast.

    Yes, but Rock had a better European warranty...
    Nonetheless, Novatech is among the cheapest.

    It was quite a big difference, for an equivalent spec machine Rock wanted £1900 and Novatech were asking £1550, and the Rock only had 2GB of RAM.

    Personally I didn't need the warranty because I don't go to Europe and don't plan to.
