Dammit, I have all the luck, winning a stupid $3,000AUD computer...

:) Kidding, actually I'm pretty damned stoked, because even underneath that horrible pre-modded mass produced case there beats the heart of a champion. Can you say FREE AMD FX-55, 6800GT and 2GB of Dual Channel RAM People!!! Mmm Mmm Mmm

In all seriousness...
Not to sound like an ungratefull sod but I hate Alienware cases. But I suppose on the plus side I can tear out all the goodies and put them into a tastefull case :). So, look forward to seeing what I can do with the hardware from this bad boy, cause now I have my tax return to spend on modding instead of hardware... mmm. It should arrive in 3 weeks or so, so expect to hear more then...

And I don't have the full specs. Will just have to see when it arrives I suppose :)

Thanks guys, I'll post a few pics when it arrives. I'm going to see what I can do with the case but I won't cut it up if another case would turn out better. If I decide to ditch it you guys will have first option (remember I'm in Australia though, but postage wouldn't be that much, if it comes to that I'll work it out).
Booyah!

Please accept my heartfelt apologies for any margin raping that may occur!

Well today I received an ominously large package that looked suspiciously like a Logitech Z-5500 Digital Speaker System...

Notice that little orange triangle logo there, that is a warning that this package is over 17Kgs and should be lifted by two people :)

mmmm, thats damned sexy... and to think that the day they told me I won this I had been shopping for speakers and almost bought one of those Logitech 2.1 systems.

To give you an idea of just how large this subwoofer is I got this shot...

Run! Don't Walk from the Evil SUB-HEAD-Beast!!!

So, I wait now with baited breath for the final packages to arrive, those that may herrald my death in a massive explosion of awesomeness... I've heard that that is a serious risk. I can't wait :)

Congrats man. that is awesome. and FX-55, 2 gig of ram and a 6800gt, value at 3000 you say? the fx 55 is worth halve of that alone. Alienware have gone mad. yipee!:D that is a sweet pc. now, let's see some scores when it comes in.

It was on EAPlay Australia, so I think its probably different to what you are thinking.

You LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY man... :eek:

(and he has the cheek to complain about it..... ;)
I bet your the type of person who would complain if they won a Ferrari, cause you don't like the colour......)

Only kidding. :D :D

Congratulations, although we may have to send details of this post ot EA, see if we can get them to send it to someone more deserving. ;)

Way to go....

Nope, a part of the prize is a copy of Battlefield 2, so that wouldn't make much sense. It was just on the website.
