    Hi MSI owners

    I was wondering if you were interested in a lá http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/652403-clevo-resellers-european-union-v1.html
    just with MSI instead? It seems like a lot of people wonder where to get MSI's round Europe.

    I want to know what you guys think about this idea.

    Also- if you agree, I would love to see some links to one or several MSI reseller in Europe

    P.S. Yes I know the MSI website shows where the different MSI dealers are around Europe.. but it doesn't show ALL of them, it doesn't show the one dealing with Barebones either :(

    Best of regards

    Oh yeah that would be a good idea I think, I know some resellers that sell MSI barebones :rolleyes:

    Though, none of them sell custom MSI OEMs yet.

    If you decide to make a thread PM me and I can help you with Hungarian resellers. We don't have ones that offer customizable ones or barebones, but here even the few that sell normal GE/GT series laptops are rare ^^ .

    Well, here in Romania, I understood from different sales representatives that the only importe of MSI laptops in the country ... isn't importing them anymore. So all you get on the stores "shelves" are old, outdated laptops. Pretty much sucks, as the situation has been like this for over half a year and with no sign of improvement.

    Great to hear!

    I would love to help if people would take the time to help me help them.

    It took me more than 40 man hours of searching to find all of the resellers for my Clevo thread..

    If everything goes well there should be a thread ready the 20th or so ;)

    P.S. You viewers! If you've got some additions, some resellers, either post them in this thread or have them ready for me (I would appreciate it very much)

    The Hungarian resellers I know of (probably all :/ ):
    http://radium.hu
    http://www.profielektro.hu/

    I will be ordering a GE60 from Radium, so I'll be able to provide feedback about them, but so far based on our communication they seem reliable.

    Another one for the list. The portuguese Clevo reseller WSI-BG also sells the 1762 and 16F3 barebones.

    Is there anyway of reviving this thread with new info? seems strange that there wouldn't be more MSI resellers in europe, here is one I know of but really not a big fan of there logo, I prefer unmarked/unbranded barebone DevilTech - High Performance Systems-_Home#

    Real shame Mysn doesn't dabble in msi barebones, I wouldn't mind the XMG logo, and I love all of their upgrade options (imo the best european clevo reseller) . ^^

    hmm I am more interested in the barebone models, preferably unbranded (unlike deviltech's) imo the barebones look nicer and less kiddy gamerish .

    Otherwise for msi resellers there are these two French sites (I have already ordered from which are really good) :

    The GT70 with nvidia GTX780M is at 1799 euros on this site (this is not the whole msi section of the website, but gaming laptops with haswell) pretty sweet deal at the moment, It comes bundled with steelseries stuff, a mouse, mouse pad, headset and a Targus backpack http://www.materiel.net/ordinateur-portable/

    They do not seem to have haswell models as of yet but they will http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Ordinateurs/3-Ordinateur-Portable/m7562-MSI.htm

    Materiel.net is excellent, I'm waiting for them to put the gt60 20d on sale, because right now only the 2200€ version is on sale in france...

    Holy ! That's cheap!

    In the Netherlands they only sell GT70 2OD's with 3x 128GB SSD's. Which costs €2599 -_-. No versions without SSD's :(.

    Yeah I like that it doesn't come with all the bells and whistles, just the components that matter, the rest can be achieved through after market upgrades for cheaper, the only thing is to be aware that it is a french keyboard, so AZERTY and not QWERTY .

    And that they only deliver in France, Belgium or Monaco, so not very useful for people not living there.

    You can probably just set the keyboard to the layout you like best, as long as it has the same number of keys it should be fine. I've been using German layouts and I sure can't complain, it has the same number of keys as the Portuguese one.

    Yup, too bad I don't live in any of those country's (I live in the Netherlands). Some things are just too good to be true (€1899 MSI with 780M + Steelseries Headset + Mousemat + Mouse + Backpack). Such a damn shame.
