Pulled Trigger on Asus N76VZ-DS71

After reading many reviews I bought the Asus N76 and it is now in the custom building phase. I decided to buy it from Xotic PC because of the custom build option and really good customer reviews. A Big Thank You to all members on this forum board for taking the time to give honest and real life reviews. Hoss at Xotic PC walked me through the building process and so far I could'nt be happier with the customer service , can't wait for my new laptop to be shipped.
