Has anyone purchased and used the MSI MS-1727-ID1 it is a DIY laptop? Any thought on it? I am in the market for a gaming laptop and don't want another dell. Would rather build one so it is cheeper and I know what is in it and what I can upgrade on it.

I will have them build it for a hole 19 dollars so I don't screw it up :)

Games: I perfer role playing use to do FPS but I have gotten old and slow. Role playing is dragonage origional and orgins, Future diablo III and starcraft July 27th.

My goal with this build is a laptop that I hope will be able to play games for 3-5 years that is why I want the DX11 video card. I will upgrade the processor down the road to an extreme I hope. Would realy like to know if anyone here has one or knows if someone that built one. I looked at the M17x but I can get this one for 500 dollars less and with 2 more years on the waranty.
