Ok, so I'm in the market for a new laptop. I was looking at the Alienware Area-51 m5500. It seems... overpriced now that I think about it.
Have any of you ever heard of, or had experience with "Vigor Gaming Computer"? http://www.vigorgaming.com/index.html They seem to have reasonable configurations, and good pricing. Plus, I see nothing but praise on resellerratings.
I was looking at the "Ares":

It seems good enough. I sent them an email about including a X1600 instead of the nVidia card.
Opinions, anybody?
