Does anyone know of anyone other than Alienware or Scan (http://www.scan.co.uk/anaconda/) who make a laptop based on thsi chassis? Or where I can get one from Arima themselves?

Thanks.

Was thinking of the same thing myself. This 17" SLI notebook has very high value. Even Alienware have it start out at "only" $1999. If one could find a third party shop building these, the price should be even lower, possibly making it the best value for gaming.

I tried to buy an Arima direct from thier US distributorship and they said that their contracts prohibit them from selling direct. My guess is that Alienware put the same clause in their contract

Bad move on Arimas part. They would sell so many more if they used the same strategy as Clevo. This deal makes me think we could have seen this notebook for around $1500 if it weren't for Alienware tying it up... Oh well, they are part of Dell now so I wouldn't be surprised if it was true

You may ask www.dli.at (a Austrian hardware seller) if they can get the new Arima model. They sell the W622, M622 and W810. Contacts are listed here:

Well, if that Scan company has them, which they appear to, that should mean that Arima/Alienware contracts are not exclusive. Unless they're exclusive in the US, which is possible.

Here's an idea... Since you live in Austria, you probably speak the same language as this site. Why don't you ask them!?
