It just makes it seem like you're getting more out of it if they divide it up into phases. Probably something like...
Phase 276 - secure motherboard screw #1
Phase 277 - secure motherboard screw #2
yea
their "researching" isnt correct because you also have to "research" the parts you need if you're buying an alienware as well
also, benchmarking yourself is necessary for any computer
buying a computer from alienware:
order (1 day)
process/19 steps (2-3 weeks?)
shipping (a week)
buying individual parts:
order (1 day)
process/shipping (2-4 days)
building (1 day)
troubleshooting if any (0-1 day)
