Does anyone know of a local outlet for building a laptop? Much like building ones own desktop computer, I would like to build my own laptop rather than buy "off the shelf."
Dude... No. Laptops are integrated appliances. You don't custom build them. You pick features from a stock list. The closest thing would be the local Asus distributor, and he'd only be able to order a stock model. Actually, they're not even "stock", they're in the pipeline. By the time a unit reaches you, it's no longer being manufactured. It may take nine months to exhaust the supply pipeline, but even if you receive a review unit, chances are the production line has already switched to a new model.
