Damn Caleria, that thing looks badass!
LOL, thanks. Yea, there were other models that had similar specs that were less...flashy. But what's the point of that? I wanted something that looked like it meant serious business and this one fits that bill nicely.
BTW, I ordered mine from
xoticpc.com. They offer the same models over at
sagernotebook.com, for roughly the same price. But xoticpc offered me more customization options.
And Taskiss,
here is a review I found of the particular model that I'm getting. He mentions the build quality and the cooling in the review. And keep in mind, his review is based off the dual 780m GPU model.

CONCLUSION
The Sager NP9390 offers the highest performing consumer level PC components in a 17" notebook that rival the power of high end desktop PC's. With dual 780m GPU's latest games play at maximum detail at 1080p with ease, easily breaking the 30FPS minmum barrier and in most cases well above 60FPS. This is a gamer's dream if someone is looking for a powerful and portable gaming PC. Not to mention it is actually priced reasonable compared to other laptops with similar equipment.
Cooling performance is more than sufficient even when the GPU's are overclocked modestly. Fan noise is within reason and to be expected when there are a large amount of high TDP parts parked inside a slim chassis of a notebook form factor. The screen is beautiful and as usual, one of many great screen options that Sager offers with their notebooks. Additional accesory lighting is a nice touch, although it strays from Clevo's traditional basic look and may not be for everyone. Speaker bar light and rear tail lights are a bit bright and offering ability to adjust intensity and turn off the other lights would be a welcome addition.
Build quality is very sturdy with great fit and finish. The laptop is solid and no concern of soft spots or fragile areas. Using the 15" keyboard is a bit of disappointment in a 17" form factor, but overall it has a firm feel when typing. Easy access to components, typical of Sager notebooks, is always welcome, and the ability to install up to five mass storage devices and with RAID offers plenty of storage options.
To be honest it's hard to find much fault with this machine, and what I do find undesirable to me is really personal preference like touchpad lighting and glossy screen. Overall if I had to rate this machine on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a solid 9.
