The big question about Sager

This question might seem to belong in the Sager forums, but it's not. Please read on, and don't transfer it.
So, Are they really good?
I'm asking this because I'm on the market for a new gaming laptop. Up until today I have never heard about Sager. I know all the big names: HP, Toshiba, Dell, IBM etc. and I have never heard about Sager. I can definitly see that there are many people here who appriciate this company, that's why I'm posting this message in this forum, and not the Sager forum: Is Sager a good company? If I am to buy a computer from them, I need to be sure, because paying 2000$+ for a laptop is a very big deal for me, I'm not drowning in cash and this amount was very hard for me to get. Also, not being from the states, I won't be able to use the customer service except for a very good reason, in which I would have to send the damn thing accross the ocean. I wish to minimize that chance, but on the other hand, there isn't another semi-known company who is selling a laptop with the FX-7 series for such a nice price. I need to know if there are many people (I am realistic enough not to ask if there are ANY) who got really burnt by Sager? Who got a really defective product? How good is a Sager computer in the long run?

Please help me, before I make the order... In any case, I'm considering the 5270 (does it matter if it's C or V if I customize it anyway?)

Thanks!

I heard about Torque alot, most are good things. I guess I might order from them should I decide on the Sager. I am almost certain about the 5720. What's the difference between the V and C? and also, are Torque considered good retailers?

Thank you all for the answers!
