i'm pretty sure you cant build a laptop like you would build a desktop... they come premanufactured...

You can buy a barebones notebook but your limited to picking your own CPU, Memory and Hard-drive. At that point its not really cost effective.

Your really better off buying a dell laptop and just doing the memory upgrade yourself since they put alot of markup on more RAM when specing out a machine.

well it seems like dell over prices everything..i can by 4gig ocz 800mhz ram for < 100 easy, there has to be a way to buy lcds and laptop case

well when you figure it out let us all know we would really be interested! :up:

No. As said before you can purchase a barebones, but after you price everything out you it would be more expensive than a Dell with similar specs.

anyone point me in the direction of some good barebone laptop sellers?

you can build your laptop but it costs a premium
also you need to ask yourself what exactly you want the laptop to do
