Alienware Area-51 m15x plagued by overheating & cracking (engadget.com)

I've actually been having problems with my XPS m1330.

Basically there is a design flaw on the top that causes a clicking right beside the right arrow key.

I've had almost everything replaced in this laptop, a replacement shipped out with a warped chassis and dead USB port and have spent HOURS dealing with Dell, in home support and reinstalling software.

Right now, I'm on a frankenstein that's had LCD, wrist rest, top plastic, dvd drive, cpu fan, heatpipe, and hard drive replaced.

Of course, there's nothing on the market that's under $1k that has all the features of this machine, so I'm either stuck paying more money or dealing with this jumble of hardware.
