    Not sure if anyone has found this yet, but when you go here:
    http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/laptop-gaming/ct.aspx?refid=laptop-gaming&s=dhs&cs=19
    and you click on the Nebula Red 'Deal' you'll find a treat. I was going through just see if there was anything special about this and I found that SLI 260 and the ATI 4870 are both "included in price". So the total of a stock build with the ATI or SLI 260? $200 cheaper!(100 for the nebula red, and 100 for the graphics card).

    So if you dont mind the red color, heres a great deal for all you looking to buy a new M17x. I may do this one myself!

    Edit: It applies to all GPU options not just the single 4870 :p

    I don't see why, if ordering over the phone, you couldn't get any color you want with this setup approach to get an extra 100 dollars off (if u choose black or silver)

    realllly good find. potentially saving about 200 dollars here.
