    Default Alienware

    well i was thinking...ALIENWARE IS SO EXPENSIVE!!! but then again, you can get ageia (splld rite?) physics cards and 4 GB memory w/ Tb's of storage. if you were to compare computers to cars, an Alienware is prob. the equivalent of a ferrari F1 car.i was just wondering if anyone thinks anything else is better, worse or just share general comments

    I love alienware. Let the ****fest begin ontop of me.

    (Never speak of liking prebuilt computers at a pc modding forum)

    But I love Alienware, IDK what it is about them but I love them. If I hit the lotto, i'm buyign a $15,000 alienware as the first thing I do with the money.

    They are no better or worse than the other high end prefab companies. You're paying for the name. Falcon, Alienware, Voodoo, Dell, Gateway, etc. The difference is the parts they put into it. Hell, if you want to pay enough for it you could build a kickass Gateway... probably... maybe...

    If I was personally going to pay that much for a name on my PC I would go with Falcon / Northwest.

Specialization is for insects"

    I would personally buy an Alienware before I'd even considered the other companies such as Falcon and Voodoo.

    I don't like them because they were bought out by Dell (booo!). They're extremely overpriced (in the $XX,XXX) and use the "patented two-part cooling system" (a.k.a watercooling). They give PCs a bad name. Here's my philosophy:

    If you want something done right, do it yourself, and save money.

    I agree. I much prefer to build a system myself. But anyway, alienware boxes are pretty sweet in their own respect.

    So Alienware is like an expensive Dell? ****.

    Like Lexus is an expensive Toymota?

    That sucks.
