Hi all..I have just sucessfully built my own gaming computer and its running like a dream...Now I want to build a high spec gaming laptop..

However..I am stuck at the first hurdle..I am struggeling to find a real cool looking laptop case/Shell (bit with the screen in) Dunno what to call it..

I want one that looks really awsome not jsut a boring square 'thing' does anyone have any links to companies that sell these cases/shells? if so links would be much appreciated..

Cheers

Mike

You cant build a laptop the same way that you build a desktop computer. you wont find any shells or motherboards for laptops.

To my knowledge you can't really do it, you can't build a laptop, and you especially you can't build a gaming laptop, just have to pay the odds for a company to build one for you.

You CAN but it's costly, and gives you no advantage. You will end up with a expensive ugly piece of crap.

Just go buy an XPS or something.

Dell computers are fine, they're just expensive, and the Dell XPS laptops are about as good as it gets, my housemate has one and it's superb.
