Alienware Aurora 3500 $999

[BigfootKevin]

Lookin to purchase a 2nd PC. I play Dark Age of Camelot(MMORPG) and I run two accounts so i'm lookin for a pretty low budget, but something that can handle the graphics.

Does this look like an ok deal? You can take off the 15 inch LCD for -$150 to make it even cheaper.


I guess it'd help if i provided a link...

Nope, for $1000.00 you could do much better than that.

Actually it's 6600LE SLI.
It's completely pointless, but well, 2 video cards do cost more than one.

I just built a Dual Opteron, 2GB of ram, 7800GT system for just $300 more than that.

Well, that's the thing. I don't wanna have to build another system. I don't want the hassle 😛 I just wanna get it in the mail, plug it in and go.

Anyone recommendations?

My recommendation is post a WTB in the For/Sale section. Chances are someone will be able to pull something better than that together for the same price. When I configured a new system that would run me "$1200", the comparable Alienware price shot up to $2200.

The standard 90 day warranty should be "doable" for anyone willing to put in some effort.

Should i be better off just getting a cheal Dell XPS? I don't really have the cash to pay anyone here on the boards, so I was planning on paying in credit.

Yes, that would work. However, you should really wait for some good Dell coupons before you order, that could easily save you hundreds.

Go over to Reseller Ratings.com and read their feedback from buyers first--it used to be REAL crappy. Maybe its improved somewhat but it was bad.

Basically same old story:

Charge an outrageous amount
Charge your CC in about 5 nano seconds
Then wait,and wait and wait for delivery--maybe a month,maybe more.

Build it yourself or have a local shop do the job.....

Gwt a paypal account or webcertificate and fund it with your credit card. Then you can buy from anyone.
