    Alienware M17x R3 Sandy i7 2720QM Radeon 6970M 2GB GPU, 1.5TB, Blue Ray, HD 3D
    Dell full service warranty 2.5 years remaining

    On ebay for $1850 buy it now of make best offer.
    Seems like the owner had it for about 6 months.

    As seller is in Ontario, Canada, Shipping will be pretty low and I won't have to deal with customs and all, I think this is a OK deal.

    What do you think?

    Could you emphasize on the HD 3D part? To my knowledge, only the nvidia cards have the 3D option.

    Can you link it so we can see the auction details? It's hard to give any advice now since we don't know key details like seller rep etc.

    Seems legit. It says 60Hz 1080p LCD in the details so the title might be a typo or to get attention for the auction. Might want to contact the seller to verify first before purchasing.

    Well, Amd does have a "tech" called HD3D but it's not as good as nvidia's. yet.

    Yeah, I'm just trying to find out if he has all the boxes manuals and accessories and stuff, then I'll make an offer tomorrow. :)

    I just wish that it was Red!

    Update : I wasn't sure about the item, So I've contacted seller with all these questions, and it turns out that he's not the original owner. very scatchy. seller ended up ending the auction on ebay.
