Empty barebooks? do they exist?

[HardwareHunter]

Hello everybody, I'm new in this community and I've been thinking for a time to build my own laptop but It seems that empty barebooks (you know, just the laptop case) don't exist. I've searched a lot and I haven't found any site or place where I can buy this.
All I could find was just computer cases (the big ones) and barebones but nothing for laptops, have any of you bought one? Is this even possible?

Thank you very much!

As far as I know this is possible but almost always more expensive then buying a laptop with said specs. I don't know of any sites that do it anymore.

Thanks for your reply!

So... there's no possibility to build a laptop completely myself? do you know any site where you can do this? I don't mean sites like dell, an others, I want a wide range of options.

 

[jmsellars1]

Unfortunately I don't know any sites but I have looked into it before and have just heard people say that it's possible but not recommended since it's cheaper and more reliable to just buy a laptop.

Ok then, thank you very much for your help.

PD: do you know any site with good prices that sells gaming laptops?

 

[jmsellars1]

Depends what sort of budget you are looking at really but either way I would recommend an AMD Llano based laptop over an Intel one, you are going to get more for your money.

That should be great, that price is also so good it makes me want to cry lol. The US is so much cheaper than the UK for this sort of thing. I would be looking at £600+ over here for that sort of thing. That's like $900-1000

I'm from Spain

jmsellars, what I'm looking for is a gaming laptop that lasts for at least 5 years, so I would like more or less this specs, the problem is that I can't find any laptop with these:

- Intel i-7 2600k
- 12 gb 2000mhz RAM
- 500 - 1 tb HD, fast rpm
- Nvidia Gtx 580 or more powerful but not for a huge higher price

And... that's it, if any of you know a laptop with these specs please tell me!!!

Thank you very much!

I don't know of any Spanish websites sorry, if you know exactly what you want just google it or something.

That doesn't matter, I'm used to buying things from the US, so there's no problem with the site nationality, even if the don't ship to Europe (I use BongoUS).

 

[jmsellars1]

Wow I didn't know about that site. How much does it usually cost roughly? I might think about buying things on US websites to come here in the UK. Suppose I might have to pay VAT on it though.

Anyway, this looks like a decent deal at the moment.

in the link above you can calculate whatever you want ^^

Well, thank you very much for your help, the laptop you say is good but what I look for is exactly for a laptop with the i-7 2600k, i'll google deeper.

 

[jmsellars1]

The 2600k is a desktop processor, youre not going to find it in a laptop.

 

[jmsellars1]

Just worked out how much it would be for a new PSU, SSD and some fans and it works out more expensive than it is here

Thanks for the link though.

 

[HardwareHunter]

YES!!! I just was going to say that, i did some research and yes, the i7 2600k is a desktop processor.... T.T it's the best deal right now in processors.

:S in my case the saves are usually around 5%, anyway for other needs it could be worth it for you.

Thank you for your help man.
