I just purchased a laptop...I went with the Sager 5760. Alienware builds their laptop of the Sager base but you can purchase the actual Sager laptop for a much better price. This is the exact receipt from my purchase... Really powerful laptop at a really low price. I am a Tactical Network Specialist for the Marine Corps so I know a little about computers and I shopped around fora while before I found this at powernotebooks.com

You can add stuff on there without much of a problem at all. You can get a second video card to bring it up from a 7900 gtx 512mb vid card to a 1024mb total. Also you can upgrade the RAM to 2 GB or even get a bigger and a second hard drive.
