OCZ OCZNBAN17DIYA NVIDIA C51D 17" DIY Gaming Notebook - Retail

Easy to set up, very strait forward. Everything pretty much just works right out of the box after a short install. Runs fairly cool and have had zero problems with the hardware so far. (Writing this review on it right now)

None

Very good if your looking to to mix and match to your own customization. The price is excellent for this laptop and gives you room in your wallet to get a high end cpu ram and HD

Quality of sound on the speakers is less than average but nothing a pair of headphones wont fix

superb customization options, easy to put together, great display, sleek black beauty....

Rebates rebates rebates, long wait, but I'm patient.

The Laptop itself supports a fairly decent range of processors and memory types. The video (though onboard) is about average for the current gaming market (though it'll play games considerably well). Battery life is pretty good, about 2 and a half...

The speakers aren't the greatest. They do their job, but I wouldn't be expecting phenomenal performances out of them. This laptop really has nothing wrong with it other than that.

Great Laptop, excellent quality. Very easy to install components, took about 15 - 20 min's to build. Control over the major components that go into your laptop. Nvidia graphics the primary reason for buying this laptop

Manual is lacking, well actually not lacking it's non existent explaining dropping it to 4 star

It appears OCZ has upgraded their product for this segment of their barebone line; instead of a Compal FL90 or FL92 as pictured and advertised, I received an HL90, which boasts Intel's newer PM45 chipset with support for DDR2-800 and 1066 fsb. It also...

The hassle of buying ddr2-800 memory after ordering ddr2-667 for the product advertised. Also, this has no S-video output for those that want it, but I personally don't care. It does have HDMI-out, however

great system had seen it as the everex version but was slow on buying it from newegg. same computer works great.still at a good price even being a bare bones system. would recommened it to everyone and have

heat from fan is hot as expected. other than that it has been a learning experiecne loading the drivers and o/s system

Lots of bang for your buck. Low price, upgradability, two HDD bays, Dedicated video memory. I have no regrets buying this laptop and would buy it again, even a year later or at a higher price

No RAID, very basic BIOS. Fan exhaust is so hot I save on my heating costs in the winter! (This might be a pro)

Installation of parts is easy. It took me less than 15 minutes, and would be a snap even for non-enthusiasts. The GeForce 8600M GT, while not the top-dog for gaming, handles games like BioShock, FallOut 3, Unreal Tournament III and Crysis at medium to...

Video card is not the very best for gaming, but still acceptable. LCD is fine, but limited viewing angle. Resolution is WXGA+ (1440x900), which is fairly standard, but I would have preferred WSXGA or WUXGA.
