Looks like I have just successfully upgraded my i7-720M GTX 260M (150W PSU) M15x to an i7-940XM GTX 570M (240W PSU) beast! It's getting late and i have to start work in 6 hours so I can't do any benchmarks tonight. I'm thinking I need to strap my CM Storm cooler to the bottom of it too before I get too crazy with it! This thing is going to be humming! It needs a new SSD though to be complete.
I got the 570M for $200 and I pulled the 940XM out of an old M17x R2 which I'll flip around and sell back on eBay for close(ish) to what I paid for it. I put the 720M and 260M in the M17x and took a 5870M out of it. Hopefully I'll get a couple of bucks for it at some stage.
