I AM LOOKING FOR NOTEBOOK MANUFACTURERS THAT COULD PROVIDE ME WITH A
LARGE QUANTITY OF NOTEBOOKS (+10000) FOR NO MORE THAN $600. SO IT
CANNOT BE THE LARGE MANUFACTURERS SUCH AS IBM OR COMPAQ ETC.. IT
SHOULD BE MACHINES OF VERY LOW COST.

THE COMPUTERS CANNOT BE REFURBISHED THEY SHOULD BE NEW AND I ALREADY
KNOW OF ECS THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE DESKNOTES, LET ME KNOW IF THERE
IS ANY OTHER OCMPANY SIMILAR SINCE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH AN
AGREEMENT ON PRICE WITH THIS COMPANY.

With such low cost, would you clearify your notebook spec?

What is the CPU? AMD's or VIA?
Would your like to be WhiteBox shipping? That is, without RAM, HD.
Would your accept a Notebook without battery, so called Desktop Book?

I recommand you reach the manufacturer that has production base in China.
They might server your requirement in this cost.

There are DesktopBooks under USD$600 in Taiwan's market with INTEL PIII CPU,
128 RAM, 15 G HD, and 24X CD-ROM, but no PCMCIA, floppy disc and battery. 

The manufacturer makes this DesktopBooks in China.

Regarding ECS, what is your CPU type? 
They have cheap Via C3 model DeskNote.

Try these companies,

www.twinhead.com
www.uniwill.com
www.mitac.com
www.clevo.com.tw
www.arima.com.tw

These companies are smaller notebook manufacturer that may take the low-price
order.
