I like it!!!! Thought Eurocom's variants tend to be a bit more expensive than some of the other Clevo resellers...... and Eurocom does sometimes add their flare to hardware. But it is good to know those 980 cards will be available soon for upgrading :D just have to get the proper cooling and PSU for it.
