Wanted to add here I was lucky and managed to find a used Asus g51vx-rx05 on ebay for $500. All it needed was the audio pcb header replaced which cost me $20 to get and replace it my self. Now I have a pretty sweet 15" laptop that can game pretty well.
Asus g51vx-rx05 specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz
4gigs of DDR2 800
GeForce GTX260M w 1gig of GDDR3
320gb SATA HDD
15.4" 1366 X 768 screen
Also the other nice thing about this laptop is you can upgrade it to a Core 2 Quad and also get the 15.4" WUXGA 1920 X 1080 screen for it. Cost for upgrades would be about $300.
