Alternatives to the X17E

Hi first time posting on this forum,
Does any know of a good alternative to the X17E gaming laptop sold by Digital Storm. I've been waiting for it, but with the uncertain release date coupled with my now dying computer I really can't wait any longer.

I looked into the X17, but i would really prefer to have desktop processor because apart from gaming i spend plenty of time rendering  things in programs like Maya, Photoshop, and Unity 3d.

Another deal breaker for me is the sli or crossfire configurations gotta love the extra power especially for gaming. Even more awesome would be the bragging rights.

Back-lit keyboard is also the coolest thing, but sadly not a must.

Really these three are the main things that I'm looking for right now in a laptop, well maybe not the back-lit but hey like i said it's like 10 different kinds of cool.

Another thing is also the price i was kind of hoping for $3000 and under.

the closest thing that i can find right now is Clevo X7200.  But Digital Storm doesn't carry that or not that I'm aware of. But that case (X7200) also seems pretty old and the upgrades from the other resellers that do carry it are ridiculously overpriced.

Help would be highly appreciated, Thank you in advance to all those willing to help.   

I see thank you very much for the help. I will consider the X17. Although i have a question as to whether or no it would be possible to buy mobile graphics cards. i did a search with google and couldn't fine any. i did read in another post that these laptops can upgrade and change their gpu. But i don't know where to buy them
