All the parts are here, just need to get customized cords to connect the motherboard to the front panel.

The box came with a huge ass hole in it. We tried to contact UPS but they said they never damaged the box. Nothing we could do. I told him to build his own next time xD

Ok back on topic! Sager has pretty good prices but I am not really sure about their quality. Prepare your legs for the heat: http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_info&model_name=NP9377

I am aware of sager but their cheapest 880m model is $2k+

I suppose if you wanted exactly an 880m then Sager wouldn't be your best bet, but if you wanted sli 860m's (which will have a sh*t ton more heat) then you have that for 1.7K. Tbh the laptop has no SSD so don't go for Sager.

If you want to buy a clevo, buy from http://www.lpc-digital.com/

they got one guy that deals with all customer service, think his name is larry or something, and like everyone is freaking happy with him. I plan to buy from there.

You can put whatever you want in Clevos/sagers. Including SSDs.

Also, if you have questions about laptop quality or vendors, head to thenotebookreview. I've been helped in that forum a lot, and you get to talk to owners of what you are shopping for.

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

I wouldn't recommend that particular one, since it's based off of the MSI GT70. It's a single fan cooling both the CPU and GPU, so that can be an issue. The Sager 8258-S might be a better choice? Sager/Clevo laptops are pretty good in price/performance.

 

I recently bought my laptop from Xotic PC, and my experience with them was very good. I usually hear pretty good things about them on the NotebookReview forum. Digital Storm is also a decent place to buy Sager laptops, or you could even buy from Sager themselves.
