Looking for customizable Dual Drive laptops

[dawgma]

I've been searching for companies who offer customizable dual drive laptops and I'm having a hard time finding anything worthwhile besides Sager's NP9280.

The NP9280 actually offers 3 hard drive bays, which is pretty cool, but it also comes with a lot of other expensive hardware (like Core i7 that you can't downgrade).

Can anyone point out some other laptop manufacturers that offer dual drive features at a reasonable price? (sub $2000)?

Orly? No one on this site has any advice on buying dual drive notebooks?

Im pretty sure most of the 17" models from HP and Toshiba offer dual hdd bays.
At least they did in the past when I had them.

A quick look at the 17" models for both companies revealed only one HDD unfortunately. Also.. HP and Toshiba aren't the greatest companies to go to if your looking to customize the rest of the hardware as well.

I am looking for sites of other "enthusiast" custom laptop builders like Sager... but more affordable.
