^Ibid… A IT friend of mine yesterday opened my eyes to this field! I was impressed right away, and I did a quick calculation of buying the parts and barbone and found for around a $2000 dollar laptop, you could save up to $500! Almost as much as I saved my custom desktop, so that’s definitly interesting to me, plus it would give me bragging right! :p… Thing is, has anyone on this forum made one before? What was the experience like? It looks no harder then building a desktop… Thanks all
