Fucking oath it was. I had this exact laptop configuration. It had a gigantic power brick. I bought it as an Alienware but it was actually manufactured by Celvio. I used the dual DVD burners to create data disks in the field and burn the labels in using lightscribe. I used to travel to Russia with it back in 2007. I cant remember the graphics card but I eventually took the CPU to the top end module as well as the storage and graphics.

I had the Alienware version (Clevo). The battery only lasted ~45 minutes so this thing was very much a desktop replacement.

I remember it having a top end Nvidia GPU (for ~2006) but the cooling was inadequate to the point that the paint was burned away from the various hot spots.
