    I decided to create an MSI 16GA Barebones owners lounge, this is the barebones version of the GE60 and i must say it is a great laptop!
    Specs are as follows:
    Processor: i7-3610QM 2.3-3.3 Ghz (6mb cache, 45w TDP) customizable
    GPU: GT650M GDDR5 2GB/GTX660M 2GB GDDR5
    RAM: 4gb of DDR3 1600 Mhz
    Screen: 15.6 inch 1920x1080 matte display (glossy available)
    750gb HDD 5,200 RPM standard

    BIOS mods: http://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161841.0 will enable Virtualization.
    I requested a vBIOS voltage mod at Tech|Inferno, hopefully they will make it

    Sellers: AFAIK, the only reseller is Xoticpc.com but there may be others. This is where I ordered mine from.

    Can you take a couple of pictures? I'm curious as to see how it looks outside of a lightbox.

    I'm looking into getting this laptop from Xoticpc.com
    How would you rate the audio quality both from the speakers and through headphones?
