Okay, here is what I recommend:
http/www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_customed&model_name=NP8150

You will need to change a couple of things to get it customized to fit your needs...

Here is what you need to change:

CPU Processor:
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-2820QM Processor ( 8MB L3 Cache, 2.30GHz

Operating System:
Genuine MS Windows® 7 Professional 32/64-Bit Edition ( 64-Bit Preloaded )

Memory:
12GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 3 X 4GB **

Leave everything else unless you have something else in mind.

The Subtotal will run you at 1969 USD.

I'm searching for other deals that might be better...
