Self Build Laptops

[AthlonTom]

Hi All

Just sniffing round for a new laptop at the moment, I think I'm going to self build some kind of barebook, or by a laptop and do what I need to do to it.

Must be dual core capable
Must be capalble of holding 2 2.5 inch HDD's internally
Must be relatively compact
Has to be widescreen

Any thoughts? The laptop needs to be used for a storage migration demo I'm doing (VMWare), has to be reasonably compact as I'm a consultant and have to carry it, dual core is essential, as is 2 HDD capacity (doesn't have to come with 2 drives but must be able to have a second added)

Cheers

Tom

Compact & 2 HDD's is generally a no-no.

Rock sell laptops to your specification, but they certainly aren't small.

Hmmm - Is this rock direct? I suppose I may have to compromise on weight and size then, no point gettin a tiny laptop that cant do the task!

Unless things have changed over the last year, when I looked into self-build laptops it really didn't work out worthwhile... I'd see if there's a decent pre-built one, if I were you

Yeah I was unable to find a decent prebuilt, most that had 2 HHD capacity were gaming laptops with no battery life and a badass GPU, the battery life isn't that important, but I definately don't need powerful GFX
