Posted: Mon May 22, 06 6:02 pmYou can build the same system for about 3/4 of the price normally so yes, in that respect it is poo. But think about it this way, you don't get the 5 year return guarentee on your custom built one, you have no-one to blame if anything goes wrong except yourself : p
Personally if I were going to buy an expensive machine I'd like that peace of mind

That's crazy money for a computer. I don't care for high-specification computers, sounds a bit nerdy for me.
If it runs DX, WMP, MSN, Firefox, and Word, it's good enough for me
Posted: Mon May 22, 06 10:06 pmAlienware, pffft. What a rip off.
Posted: Mon May 22, 06 10:33 pmits alright in my opinion, even though i tend to switch pc's from time to time.

Posted: Tue May 23, 06 12:10 amPrice. I suppose Ant is right on the warranty side but would you hell see me coughing up much over a grand for a pc.
Posted: Tue May 23, 06 2:35 amI'm actually considering buying this thing. But, after looking at your opinions, I changed my mind.
Posted: Tue May 23, 06 5:25 amOpinions dont matter,just look at how much purformance it has,it works and looks great every-where,the menu's the grahpics levels,the key-board,monitor,speakers,and especially the case,i installed the liquid cooling on thursday and now my games run even better than before
I suggest you buy one,the best pc you can get...i still prever my 360 though

Un-educated dumbass.
Has anyone here ever TRIED to actually contact Alienware support and get a part replaced?
RIGHT, SO SHUSH.
In fact, let me go on ebay and find you a pc with 4+ gigs of ram for LESS money.
For a start -: 2GB Ram, 3.0ghz Pentium 4. Look at it.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PENTIUM-IV-3-2-GH ... dZViewItem
BETTER Than an alienware. -: 4GB, 1GB Of Video Ram In total, 64 BIT AMD 4800 X2 PROCESSOR.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/64-BIT-4800-X2-TW ... dZViewItem
At least $876 grand cheaper than an alienware.

........... Is $876 substantially larger than 6 big mac meals, and 3 games from my local game shop?
YES.
So I honestly don't know why you said that man, $876 Is something You COULD use to upgrade your CPU, buy a new monitor, whatever.
And that was the most expensive example I could find, and how many of your PC's come with 4 GB OF RAM?
Oh wait, none.
Yet its still cheaper than an alienware?
And I'm pretty damn sure that No alienware comes with 1GB of video ram, total.
Right.

I could do this all day.
@Bob - I'm getting one in august (H).
Edit: In fact, I could take out 3rd Party Insurance and STILL have enough money left over to buy a new monitor&keyboard&mouse&printer&speakers.
Posted: Sun Jun 04, 06 10:57 pmEasy easy don't cry, I'm not buying one so I don't look further than the price, I don't actually care.

Is that your way of saying YOUR RIGHT? And I quit?
Don't take an arguement so far if your just going to back out of it like a jerk and not even secede properly, if you dont understand how an arguement works, don't start one in future, because I wasted alot of time trying to prove a decent point, and all you can do is come up with the lamest most limp wristed response "Easy easy, don't cry" ¬_¬.
Posted: Mon Jun 05, 06 1:52 pmLMAO 
I wasn't having an argument... but if you think it was, you have edited your post when you were raving on about it was like over £1,000 cheaper than an Alienware. Then I said it's only $876 [after currency conversion] which is only £465, not £1,000+.
Also, What would I be admitting I was wrong to? You don't know?
ok then.

Posted: Tue Jun 06, 06 12:09 amIf you want an alienware beater, here are some tips:
RAM is always good, but don't buy 4GB, you're wasting your god damn money. 2GB will more then suffice for gaming.
Do _NOT_ buy server parts, I hope Idon't have to explain that.
Don't waste money on one part, only to go cheap on the other. If you buy 2GB of 1337 RAM, but pair it with a 2Mb cache 7200RPM HDD, you'll still be waiting long load times. Distribute your money to make a fast whole system. (This is very true of graphics cards being limited by CPU's.)
The best pre-built systems http://www.voodoopc.com/showroom.aspx?productID=1095
(No one said they are cheap.)
I'll tell you strait, working on parts that cost more then you earn in a month(or ten) is fscking scary. However the saving and knowledge that you built the computer more then makes up for that.
