Area-51 M17x & M15x: Will Blow You...... Away!


It has been determined that I just need to go work for Alienware, as that has to be the only way I can get one of these sexy things in my hands. The Area-51 m15x and the Area-51 m17x code named Ripley and Skullcap, both have Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme processors, and a cool looking keyboard that is right out of Star Trek. Check the specs:

You beat me to the punch by about 10 minutes on this one. I can't wait to see the pricing on these badboys. I came close to buying a kickass Dell M1730, but it jumped a little out of my price range on Ebay.

Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme X7900 (2.8GHz/800Mhz FSB, 4MB Cache)
4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz
400GB (2x200GB) 7200RPM
Blu-ray / DVD / CD Burner (Blu-ray Disc Drive)
NVIDIA®SLI™Dual GeForce®8700MGT with 512MB GDDR3 Memory
Intel® PRO/Wireless 4965a/g/n Mini Card
1Yr LoJack for Laptops Theft Protection
17 inch UltraSharp TrueLife Wide-screen WUXGA
AGEIA PhysX™ 100M Processor
Logitech® GamePanel Display

It ended up selling for $3500. A steal over the $5040 pricetag from Dell.com.
