Have a look on Ebay, there is a guy on there who sells Dell returned units for far less than Dell sells them for. I bought a brand new Dell Precision M6500, similar to the spec above, from him a year ago, for less than I could from Dell with our corporate discount with full Dell warranty. You might be able to pick up a less well specced unit with the smaller 15" screen. I bought mine to do large assembly and surfacing CAD and high res rendering for when I was contracting and it's been superb, quicker than the desktop workstations the guys were using.
