3d laptop - 17+ inch, sli nvidia 560's

[handsomepants]

Hello,

I've been looking EVERYWHERE for a laptop that has: a 17 or 17+ inch 3d display; SLI nvidia 560's. Every SLI configuration seems to only have regular display options, and every 3d laptop seems to have only single-card configurations. I'm hoping to do it for under $3000, but I'm flexible. Help!

You can use GTX 580m instead of SLI 560m. GTX 580m should be sufficient.

Thanks so much, guys. yeah, those were pretty much all the places I've looked, though I don't know that I had caught that particular Clevo (p170). I was hoping to go SLI 560s for the better bang for the buck, as opposed to the solitary 580, but I guess with a laptop I should be grateful to pull off 3d and a top-end card at all. And does SLI on a laptop create weight/bulk issues anyway?

I also should have mentioned that I kind of wanted to avoid clevo/sager, since my last computer was a Sager and I had a bunch of overheating problems (Geforce 9600 got HOT) and the battery shorted out beyond repair. I went directly through Sager, though... not the best customer service. But maybe someone can suggest an outside sager retailer/distributor with better customer service and support? Are xoticpc and cyberpowerpc better with this sort of thing? I'd be open to trying a clevo/sager again if I knew I could get decent service if there are problems.

So what I'm gathering here is that it's pretty much Clevo or Dell, right? It's funny, I found my Sager way too plain, and Alienware way too gaudy though AW isn't as bad as they used to be, but I still can't get around the "alien" on my computer... it's just always bugged me that it associates computer/gaming nerds with Roswell/conpiracy/alien abduction wackos, a camp I'm VERY much not a part of If it were Spock I'd be fine with it

Thanks so much, your advice has been super-helpful! Advice on distributors is very much appreciated.
