Both have the 7970 on pre-order, will have ivy, Full HD (matte), backlit keyboards, external speakers are better, SSD options, even the new mSATA ones are an option, though who'd want one anyway (yet).

Thanks Avalanche, but are these not rebranded Schenker computers? They look exactly the same.

Have you ever bought from those companies? Pcspecialist offers a 3 year warranty but I wonder will they honour it for Irish customers (collect and return etc)...

Also, when's Ivy Bridge out?

Other way around, Schenker are rebranded clevo. Same thing though yea, whole load of sites buy clevo chasis/shell, customise and sell on.

PC specialist is sound...I can only assume they honour the warranty, well reviewed company so easy to find out, don't know much about pwnpcs, only came across them a couple of weeks ago.

Consoles seem to be driving most single player games, and multiplayer games like Minecraft,Eve,WoW, and Diablo don't demand too much either.
