ASUS Lamborghini VX2 Customization

Hi


Does anyone know a company that customizes Asus VX2? I need it with the following Specs:
  • Intel® Core™2 Duo T7700 2.4GHz w/4MB L2 On-die cache - 800MHz FSB
(Or preferably Intel Core 2 Duo EXTREME X6800 2.93GHz w/ 4MB L2 Cache - 1066MHz FSB)

  • Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
  • 512MB PCI-Express nVidia GeForce 8600GT DX10
(Or preferably 512MB PCI-Express nVidia GeForce 8700GT DX10 / 512MB PCI-Express nVidia GeForce 7950GTX w/GDDR3)
  • 4,096MB (2 SODIMMS) DDR2 667MHz Dual Channel Memory
(Or preferably 4,096MB DDR2 800 (2 SODIMMS) Dual Channel Memory)
  • 1GB Intel® Robson Turbo Memory
  • "Black" Lamborghini Exposed Carbon Fiber Exterior Finish
  • Combo Dual Layer SuperMulti 8X Light Scribe DVDRW Drive w/ Software
  • 200GB 7200RPM (Serial-ATA 150)
  • Internal Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR
  • Built-in Intel® PRO/Wireless 4965 802.11 a/g/n

I know for example that http://www.xoticpc.com offers these specs (though not the ones I prefer and I am not even sure if my preferred specs are available on VX2 – I would appreciate any info on this as well -) but shipping to Canada will incur duties, which is just stupid. I am wondering if there is any place which does such customization in Canada.

Thank You and Regards

Most of that is standard, so I'll just address the upgrades:

From what I've seen posted several times by resellers, adding memory doesn't affect the Asus warranty, so most resellers will offer the RAM upgrade (and FYI: Intel's chipset will not run memory faster than 667 Mhz, so purchasing 800 Mhz RAM would be pointless).

Asus hasn't made an 8700 GT graphics card for the VX2 and a 7950 GTX wouldn't fit the physical and thermal limits of the chassis design, so that's not possible.

Unlike adding RAM, upgrading the CPU would invalidate Asus' warranty, meaning that your warranty would then be only through the reseller and not Asus (which could be risky depending on the reseller).

VOODOO ENVY M:152 for example offers Intel X7800 Extreme on a 15.4'' Laptop. I also have heard that ASUS is trying to solve the heat issue for NVIDIA 8700GT. Unfortunately, for some reason, I just do not like HP/VOODOO and DELL/ALIENWARE.
