Dunno about the windows media, I run Maya on XP home and it's fine.

How do you go about building a laptop? I thought they were pretty much standard from the manufacturer as the parts are soldered in to stop them ratteling and messing up?

The one thing that you might need to look into is the graphics card if your running maya on it.

Best off looking on Alias's site for graphics cards, the Boxx Laptops use the Nvidia Quatro desktop cards.

Depending on what your after you can get the same spec laptop (from the same factory) cheaper if you have a shop around, the thing is you dont get the funky paint job but you could save a few hundered if your lucky.
