2 HD's and 2 GPU's in One 17"?

Well, since we've been on the topic of getting lots of power into small form factors lately, I thought I might ask a question. Do any of you have a picture (opened view) of some Alienware or Acer'esque laptop with two hard drives and two high-performance GPU's crammed in? I've been trying to find pictures on Alienware's website and on Google, but I haven't been able to find anything decent. It's just absolutely amazing to me that you can physically fit that much crap into a 17" rectangle.

sinclair_tm is on a distinguished road
i'm sure they can do it. there were apple laptops with 2 hd's in them at one point. just think of putting 2 ipods together, its really not that much room. and gpus are just chips, and can be put anywhere on a board. if you think like desktop standards, ya, its next to impossible, but laptops are designed differently.
