    Allright, I finally decided to buy myself a beast of gaming laptop and the decision was easy once I knew what I wanted. I've been reading and looked around on the forums here for resellers with great reputation. The one and only European reseller who could fulfill my requirements was PWNPCS. Now another choice could have been an order through mySN, which would've suited me better since I live in Sweden, but the thing is they don't sell the P370SM3, no overclocking, and no customization. Plus PWNPCs offer unlocked BIOS from Prema, which is unbeatable if you ask me.

    Mr Scott has been really friendly and professional. The customization of the laptop went really smooth, and got me all the parts I needed. I highly recommend anyone to purchase their Clevos through PWNPCs, their overall prices are great and the customer service is second to none.

    I will keep a log with updates on the build process! :)

    Thanks buddy, yeah the wait will be hard :)

    That's funny because exactly one week ago I did look at the P723, and they did not have the 3D screen as an option. I even asked them couple of moments and was told it won't be sold. However I'm not regretting my purchase and I definitely made the best choice as you said the unlocked BIOS was one of the deal breaker for me. ;)
