    right so im getting a xps m1730 and im looking for something with the following specs:

    Intel® Core 2 Duo T7500 Processor (2.20GHz, 800MHz, 4MB L2 cache)
    4096 Mb DDR 2 RAM 667Mhz
    Logitech Gamepanel LCD Display
    Twin Dual 256Mb Nvidia SLi 8700M GS Graphics Cards - 512Mb Total
    Aegia PhysX Processing Unit
    5.1 channel output with for true surround sound experience with no external decoder required.
    500Gb Hard Drive 7200rpm


    what is the MOST i should pay for something with these specs?
    is it possible to change the case for one with a different colour? as i want a white one, but if you then i wont specifically look for a white one.
