Dell Precision M6500 Mobile Workstation

What do you think? What else is good out there?
I've got the M6500, i7-920XM Quad at 2.00Ghz, 16GB DDR3 at 1333Mhz, nVidia Quadra FX 3800M (1GB DDR3), Dual 256GB SSD RAID 0, 17" WUXGA 1920x122 RGB LED, running 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate.

My only complaint at this point is that after several hours on the phone with Dell and another several hours on the phone with Microsoft I'm still unable to get the USB 3.0 ports to work. Dell's actually sending someone out to replace the hardware since none of the driver/software based trouble-shooting has worked. Once they get these 3.0 ports working I'll be very happy with the system.

BTW, it's also driving three 27" displays.
