    if not can you tell me which ones they sell that are msi systems?? anyone know anything about this company?? i hear some great stuff and some really bad stuff about their quality... imo if they are using msi systems and re-branding them would the quality be just as good as the msi counterpart.. what would make them less reliable or less worth buying ... thanks

    It sure looks just like my MS-1719.

    The price seems OK, but no option for an extended warranty.

    As for the screen, it's very clear and bright, glossy. There's a little light leakage from the sides, but not enough to be unacceptable.

    It sure looks like mine too :p

    It is definately MSI quality. I bought mine at RKC and there are more RKC logos on it then MSI.
    Hell, I dont even see a MSI logo without a magnifying glass.

    Probably becoz these barebones are sold as whitebooks. The reseller can put his own logo.

    But tbh I dont like the "Battalion" name....
