    Is it possible to customize a 15" sager with a the Geforce 9750 graphics card?

    I've been looking at the M570U for a long long time and it's absolutely perfect..it's even harder to resist with this upcoming sale PowerNotebooks is running. However, i'm a little concerned with the size of this beast and lugging around campus, so I was wondering if there's anyway to get the 9750 in a 15" lappy? Any comments or suggestions will be much appreciated!

    Oh yeah, shop smart..shop S-Mart! hahaha (see avatar)


    Edit: Ignore my "a" in the title..thats what you get when you type half of a message, go do something else, and then return to finish it.

    The heat output of a Go 7900/7950 GTX is very high, and it would be too much for a cooling system found in a 15/15.4" notebook. Even though most of the gaming 15.4" notebooks that Sager sells and did sell had very good cooling systems, the output of a high end card probably be too much.

    but assuming there were no cooling problems, would it WORK? would it fit and be compatible?

    No, its possible. A website did manage to fit a Go 7800 GTX, which emits more heat than a Go 7950 GTX, in a 15.4" chassis. I believe it was a Dell model. I have attached the link for it below:
