    It's not funny at all..

    All configs can be sold without HDD and RAM, you just have to contact the resellers and ask them for a quote!

    Just have to make sure all your extra components are compatible.

    biba028, i have replaced hard drives and ram on my previous laptops, Qosmio x505 being my last. I am comfortable with that. Also I can just get a momentus xt and 8gig dd3 ram which will be compatible right?

    Yes, and you have a lot of options on RAM. The stock RAM is DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600, 10660, or 10666). However, you can always go with DDR3 1600 or DDR3 1866 if you choose a model with a processor that supports it (2720QM or better).
