Some helpful hints from your dear Uncle Xolik:

1) Threads titles in all caps are not a good idea.
2) We like a bit more contribution than an image of somthing and (product name) *faints* as the subject matter.

For instance: What about this machine appeals to you the most? What would you most likely use if for? (I'm sure it's gaming, if so, then any game in particular?) Things like that.  :D

I have heard some horror stories about Alienware. Defective products, LONG build times, lack of customer support. I can't say anything for sure as I have not ever bought anything from them. But I would rather build my own desktop than buy one. If I could build my own laptop I would, but alas, I can not.

Hate Alienware. It essentially boils down to "Hey, let's take this compcrap PC out of it's case and put it in this nice and shiny case instead! Woah! Now let's charge $500 more for it."

Alienware: The machines that are overpriced but look real nice.

ehh, Alienwares, especially the ALX series, are extremely powerful machines using top of the line hardware, but I could build the same thing myself for cheaper. Alienwares are for people with money to burn.

Agree. But I'm too lazy.
