Building an alienware M18xR2?

[kawimc]

So I have been searching the internet for a few days now for an 18in gaming laptop with a reasonable price. (my range is around $1000.) At about this time most of you are probably saying "get bent, your crazy".... My question is, could I buy all of the parts separate and build my own alienware in that price range ? REASON I chose alienware,  is because I know they have great upgradability and freedom. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I should do? Do all laptops in a certain category have the same fittings and freedom to where I could pick and choose my own internals? Im new here so please direct me to the proper place to post this.

Unless you just have money to blow, I wouldn't do that.

 

Reason is, laptop hardware is more expensive and have a higher chance of something going wrong (least in my experience).

Dont go alienware. At least not if you're going for upgradeabilty/interchangeability. Check out Sager(?) Notebooks. Check out what they have there.

I believe they have 17 inch laptops.
