Ever since the CustomPC mag i have been looking for some as savastore only list them and dont sell them lol.

With any luck Eclipse can actually get them

not bad, so for a full lap top how much we talking? £££

i wouldnt mind buying all the bits, as i too liked the look of the £400 lap top in cpc but getting the bits is hard

Well eclipse screwed me over as they cant get any stock but i should now be getting one from Zepto, the barbones they use with the Zepto Znote 6615WD.

It looks good and as they obviously have them in stock as they ship out many systems using them so hopefully i should actually get one this time!!
