    MSI GS60/GS70 barebone re-sellers in Europe?

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone saw any other re-sellers in Europe other that Medion with their Erazer (which still does not have the nVidia GTX970). What I am willing to achieve is to get the same MSI GS60/70 (still making up my mind) but without the dragon logo for the more subdued business look.
    I saw that Malibal has the GS60 barebone on offer with less obscure logo, but it is in the US and the price is even higher than the original MSI.
    Medion have some laser etching on the lid or similar, plus the only downturn which I can see is that the keyboard even though physically the same is not called StealSeries and has only one lighting option, otherwise the systems seem identical. LCD seems to be the same as on standard MSI 1080p although not explicitly discussed.

    If anyone saw any other providers, please let me know, would appreciate it greatly.

    Reagards,
    mAvis

    I'd be interested to know this too, that logo is not very work-friendly :-(

    Would be a shame not to have the SteelSeries keyboard, as it sounds like that's a good one. The lighting I couldn't care about, as long as it has at least one lighting option (preferably white)

    I'm also based in Europe (UK)

    Man, I wished that too... also when I saw the "Fangbook", looks much better and business like than the stupid MSI gaming series logo gimmicks. But can't find anything in europe...

    I bought an XMG P505 in the end, from mysn.co.uk
