Have you looked at the Clevo 230SS? It goes under the name Optimus VI with PC Specialist.

I'd warn you that I'm running a Clevo 230ST more or less maxed out on RAM and CPU, and while its a fantastic machine performance wise, and has a pretty good isplay and keyboard, the cooling is atrocious. Despite usually sounding like a jet engine it pretty regularly throttles the CPU due to overheating.

At some point I'll get to dismantling it and seeing if some more thermal paste helps matters, but in the meantime it can get really quite irritating. I'm currently sitting in a warm coffee shop window, and parts of it are getting to the point where they're uncomfortably warm to touch.
