Looking to buy a new gaming laptop very soon...

I've been looking at buying a new gaming laptop very soon. I work for a gaming company and the big must have an NVidia GeForce card. However, since I'll also be using the system for work, I figured this laptop might become my main system.

I need some help looking at other options.

What I don't want:

*build my own (I don't have time)
*Dell - don't like

What I've looked at:
*Alienware m9700 - What I like:
  • Dual-drive RAID (if I'm going to be using this as a main system, I'll need the dual drives in case one crashes, so that I can continue to work)
  • NVidia card
  • Built-in tv tuner and webcam
  • Deal going on right now with free mimo router and card (I need to buy a new router anyway)
  • Alienware seems to be a preferred gaming company
However this system is going to run me a little over $3k. Ouch.

*ABSPC Mayhem Z5 - what I like:
  • I have an ABS desktop - best system I've ever had
  • Has NVidia card
  • Built-in tv tuner and webcam

What it doesn't have - dual Raid drives - I'd be out of luck if the drive crashed; the price was running a little lower (but not much) than the Alienware

*ABSPC Mayhem T1 - No nonsense machine. Doesn't have a tvtuner (not a must have) but does have a webcam. One drive capability only.
--A big PLUS - the price. I can get two of these for the price I'd pay for one Alienware or one Z5. It doesn't have the processing power (1.6GHz) that the Alienware system has - my concern is that it's not going to be able to handle games and work with the same aplomb as the heftier Alienware system.

Does anyone have an opinion about all this? Any other recommendations I could look at? Thanks for your time!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
