    I was wondering if I were to buy a MSI Whitebook (say a MSI MS-1651-ID3 when it comes out with the 9800M GS [I'm assuming the GT627 is one of these with a 9800M GS put in]) will it come un-branded or branded by the reseller I buy it from. I would perfer to get an un-branded barebone and build it myself. Also, if I am able to get an un-branded barebone, how can I brand it myself? Does painting it void any warranty that is offered with the barebone?

    Edit: I just noticed I cannot find any resellers that offer the MSI-1651-ID3, am I just overlooking it? I really want to build it myself so that I can get experience with it, as well as be able to brand it however I want if possible. Also it should shave off some cost since I won't be paying for labor costs to install the CPU/HDD/RAM and since I already own a copy of Windows, I won't need to pay for an OS.

    Seeing as the GT627 is now out, anyone got some info on this? Mostly just trying to find the barebone release date.
