My fiancee just got one of the Asus "Republic of Gamers" laptops, and the thing is a freaking monster. It's also really oddly shaped, and didn't come with a sleeve (cheapos) so she needs something to store it in. Anyone have one of these and know of a laptop bag that will fit it well?

I'm not sure if they sell these separately, but the backpack is absolutely perfect for my 17" G74SX-DH71. Seriously, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I would vigorously recommend picking one up, if you can find one.
EDIT: This is what I'm talking about. They are absolutely worth that price, if you have the cash.

Seriously.
I have two of their bags and they are sitting at 10 and 12 years old. They are a bit grubby but they are structurally no worse for wear. Thats art school wear. Welding class, sculpture, painting, various chemicals and solvents etc etc. I'm always afraid of sounding like a commercial when I talk about these things because that is actually how strongly I feel about how good they are.
I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/Swiss-Gear-17-Inch-Notebook-Backpack/dp/B000WQCYDI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1324018637&sr=8-2
My laptop fits in it with no problems and it's a pretty nice backpack on top of that; I use it all the time even when I'm not carrying the laptop on it just because it's durable and holds a lot of stuff. And it's on sale right now! Still pretty pricy though, mine was a birthday gift.

Sure its a diaper bag, but that means very little.
They've got a good selection and I've been happy with everything I've bought from them.
The bag was a 17 inch I believe. Maybe 20. It was big enough for me to haul around my freaking desktop in, plus mouse and keyboard, ethernet cord, power plugs, and 15 inch monitor inside the laptop insert.
And there isn't any stretching issues or tears or anything. Like I said, it's a champ.
