    We have some MSIs if you haven't seen them yet. Post what specifics you want in a laptop, like gaming, etc.

    We stock and have MSI repair parts on our site, just look under notebook accessories. The entire notebook chassis is not available as one unit, it is multiple parts.

    Uh,
    IDK what to say.

    Yes, MSI parts are extremely rare. I don't know what you we should do about it.
    There is absolutely no where else to get these parts unless you make friends with someone who works within MSI.

    These laptops, in whole working condition, go for VERY cheap. Yeah, cheaper than all the plastics you can buy individually, without a motherboard, graphics, lcd, cpu, etc.....
