    Hey guys, I just got myself a 2nd hand m17x r2 with 5870. And I am able to get my hand on 7970m but its the clevo version.

    Can you guys please tell me the bad side of doing this instead of getting the alienware one please? I am able to get it around $100 - $200 cheaper than the alienware so I guess its worth a try..

    Thanks!
