Okay I'll bite, you say you have DIY, build your own laptops, but where exactly is the link to do it?(And a side note, I believe they jacked with this post time. I know I checked back later in the day, and there had been no reply.)
I'm on this page:
OCZ / Products / DIY Notebooks / OCZ DIY 17" Gaming Notebook - Intel - NVIDIA Edition
OCZ DIY 17" Gaming Notebook - Intel - NVIDIA Edition
ocztechnology.com/products/diy_notebooks/ocz_diy_17-gaming_notebook-small_intel-nvidia_edition-small_
(I also tried a link off of ocztechnology.com/products/diy_notebooks/ called "Visit our Dedicated DIY Site" but it just hangs on some flash crap. )
Anyone know where a working link to customize the above system is?
Thanks,
Michael

What information are you looking for exactly? The first link you provided has links listed for both a how-to guide and validated componets. The second link loads fine for me using Firefox 3.5.6.vaughn_k 01-01-2010, 09:10 PM
Michael - Below is a post that I made on two other threads. If you wish to purchase a DIY laptop, NewEgg has the OCZ DIY 17" Gaming Notebook - Intel - NVIDIA Edition for $510 and a bundle with OCZ laptop memory:michael- 01-19-2010, 09:52 AM

You might find the 'old' specification sheet, that I reference, useful. At least it gives the model numbers for a few compatible Intel notebook CPU's.
I have had NO success getting answers to my questions below. I sent the same post to QCZ sales with NO RESPONSE!
I have several more specific questions, however I hesitate to ask them until I receive a credible response to my simple question below. Good luck with your information search...Vaughn !:-)
PS - The OCZ web page \u201cDescription\u201d states "Choose from list of validated components". I was unable to find a CURRENT/COMPLETE list of validated components with CURRENT model numbers, other than possibly
ocztechnology.com/diy/17_...Components.pdf
Below is my previous post:
I intend to \u2018build\u2019 an OCZDIY17B1-US DIY Laptop. Please tell me the Intel Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme, and Core 2 Quad MODEL NUMBERS of the Intel CPU\u2019s that are compatible (examples for the Intel Core 2 Duo are T7500, T7700, etc.). Thank you\u2026Vaughn !:-)
PS \u2013 The \u201cFull Spec Sheet\u201d at:
ocztechnology.com/diy/OCZDIY17B1-US.pdf
shows No Core 2 Quad model number and only one Core 2 Extreme model number. The list of supported processors appears to be incomplete.
The web page \u201cDescription\u201d states support for Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme, and Core 2 Quad processors. The web page \u201cDescription\u201d is at:
ocztechnology.com/product...edition-small_
Thank you.

The second link does NOT load with Firefox 3.0, 2.x, or Opera. Again I'll (somewhat) repeat myself, actually I'll openly state what should have been an obvious implication:
All I wanted was a working link to something where I could select components, have you guys build it, and buy the stupid thing. But, Praz, based on your response, it not only isn't achievable, but OCZ doesn't give a flip on it being achievable.
- What bright F-ing idiot at OCZ is authorizing the use of technology that hinders OCZ's customers from actually trying to give OCZ money?

Vaughn,
Thank you kindly for your post. Very elucidating that you sent an email to the OCZ sales department and didn't get any reply at all.

At this point I've given up on you OCZ, and I won't be checking back in here. If you have any further desire to salvage a potential customer, here's the page I'm compiling my notes on in my quest to find a 17+ inch (WUXGA, 1920 x 1200 resolution or better), Core 2 Quad, 4+ GB memory notebook.
Best of Luck to you OCZ,
Michael
