I won't go into the name brand/house brand thing. All the major brands are resellers and provide little but a label and additional markup.

Current Alienware and Voodoo notebooks are made by Sager. Shop around for good deals with the ODM name. For your requirements I'd be looking at Sager or Clevo. A nicely configured Sager 4750 would be under $2100 (17",Radeon 9700,1GB,60GB 7200, 8xDVD RW+/- DL,3400+ AMD 64). Their 9860 is bleeding edge Intel w/your choice of PCIe video but it's $2500 and up.
