whatsupchuck :
this sounds very . . urgent . . .
i would suggest going to futureshop or bestbuy or staples or wherever you are buying the laptop
and asking them the same question, you would get a faster answer than here
sorry i couldnt be of more help
i can't endorse bestbuy or staples, ive never heard of futureshop.
do you have a microcenter or fry's near your area?
also check out seger, they are generally cheaper than aleinware.

customize this one from sager, with the better display, the hd 5870mobile, blueray drive, and the i7-820QM and it will be a little under 2000
you can even splurge a little and get an intel ssd but it will push you over 2000.
i would recommend against the 285m its no good compared to the 5870m
