Compal just released a brand new whitebook… And this one has me excited! 14 inch with a 256 nvidea 7600 go card… that’s the best you can get on a 15.4 inch, yet this is even smaller! So, I’ve put together this list of parts, what do you guys think? I have 2 options, order from newegg and R&J tech seperatly and build it myself or just let [Powernotebooks.com](http://Powernotebooks.com) do it for me… [Here’s a review of what I’m talking about](http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3098&review=Compal+HGL30)

Actually if I let Powernotebooks do it for me, it’ll be a little cheaper also…

[Here’s a screenshot of my config I want along with the price from powernotebooks](http://www.thinkpoint.org/hgl-30.jpg)

For the building it myself thing, it’ll be the exact same parts except for the CPU which would be a regular Core Duo T2600 2.0 ghz… Ironically building it myself would cost around 28 bucks more… What do you guys think?

Good deal?
