Building a Notebook-Whitebook?

Feb 13, 2005 4:12AM PST

From my understanding, I can buy a notebook chassis, and the parts and basically build my own notebook like I did w/ my desktop. Does anyone know about this? My source is this- http://forums.legitreviews.com/viewtopic.php?t=238&highlight=whitebook
Apparently this guy did it, but I am still confused on the subject since I have never heard of it before. Thanks

So you suggest to just order a custom built one instead of building my own?

Absolutely. And stick with the names.
