i really like the looks of those machines.

 

[Nubius]

Nice dude, and honestly not a bad price either for Alienware, usually they charge up the butt, but that seems like a fairly good deal from them. Start overclockin the CPU, RAM, and graphics card

 

[GrimReaper23]

That is a good deal from alienware but if they did use a standard ATX mobo I would get AMD if you gonna be gaming other then that it is good price for alien ware and looks awsome!

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

I would expisally get an AMD seeing that your a gamer. You could do better than alienware for that price, but at the same time alienware is not genuinely screwing you over either.

 

[mousepad]

I'm suprised at the price. You've got a good deal going there and to make it better you should switch to amd. I have seen an Alienware in action, great quality but usually expensive.

 

[SHAWN]

You could build that cheaper with parts from newegg.

 

[phosho510]

yea, but usually alienware price are off the charts. i say he got a pretty good deal.

[synergy]

you'd save a shitload ($100...wow) on shipping buying just the parts too. However, that is a good deal.
