Pretty much, it's the Alienware m17x with the works. Had to skimp a bit on the CPU, i chose a Q9300.
I'm regretting it already, but i know i'm going to love it when i have it in my hands.

The Dell "Complete Care" covers everything, and i don't even have to pay any.. Ehhh.. .dunno what's it called in english.
The small-ish sum you pay when you use your insurance?

Got me a new netbook recently; only 222 euro running Ubuntu9.10-netbook-remix (  XP as secondary boot just for running software like SE PCsuite and update service ). It´s a fast, easy and very reliable system for just about everything but heavy graphics and gaming. Well, I already had a nice quadcore desktop with 24inch screen for stuff like that  . Am I crazy?

No.

yeah, for relaxed gaming, you´ll have to put the laptop on top of your desk  .
