just recieved my Alienware

[PeterJun21]

I just recieved my 2ghz computer from Alienware. It kicks the *** outta my bros comp (Dell 8100) with almost the same specs. I also bought a 22' NEC monitor... I have to stare up and down since its so big =) Also Kilpsch 2.1 sound is amazing!

P.S. I know I overpayed... but I couldnt build one myself

 

[sohcrates]

i had the pleasure of working on an alienware system once. you're a lucky dude

 

[TunaBoo]

Plenty of places will build an equal or greater computer for a fair price.

 

[Arundel]

I bought an Alienware a few years ago and quickly realized how much they ripped me off. Not that it wasn't a good system, and I like the little alienware logo on the case, but it was stilll a ripoff.

Good gawd, that's over priced! For $4100 you could have had SCSI and a GF3 had you built it yourself.

Did you at least get a socket 478 mobo so you could upgrade to the new P4s later on?

 

[Looney]

Man, that is one awesome case! Anybody know where those are available?

One of my rigs in in this case. It's a very nice case.

LukFilm, I've called Alienware and they want sell you a case unless you buy the computer with it. Alienware's cases start life as Antec SX 1040 SOHO File Server Cases(long name for a computer case), there available in black and beige, I have a black one. I got mine from Directron.com for $129.00 but they have the black model on sale for $98.00.

Damn that looks nice. It may be a bit overpriced, but hey if you can afford it- why not

The video card choice surprises me though- wouldn't be my choice in that system for any use

 

[Rickten]

Nice rig!!!! Did the monitor come with it or did you get that seperate?

 

[dc]

4k... i'm speechless.

the case is just a antec 1030/40 case with a custom front piece

 

[SnowPunk98]

Damn you paid wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much but hey, whatever pops your nipples I woulda built somthing way better with that kinda cash

Next time gimmie a holler ill build it heck ill tell you how

 

[MiExStacY]

[PeterJun21]

He is obviously a rich yuppie with wealthy parents.

He is more worried about how big is screen is then how much it cost.

 

[poopaskoopa]

<< He is obviously a rich yuppie with wealthy parents. >>



And to whom does he need to apologize about that?

 

[MisterNi]

<< He is obviously a rich yuppie with wealthy parents. >>


So what if his parents are rich and bought a $4k(!?!?!?) computer for him? It's his (parent's) money, not yours.

 

[Transistor]

Sweet system. Way better than Dell. I like the SCSI HDD. Can you post some HD Tach scores or sisoft sandra scores for the HDD? The video card is pretty good and it has its place among affordable solutions, but for a system that expensive I would have expected a lot better than a $100 budget card. It should have come with a Geforce 3.

 

[cmaMath13]

VERY SWEET SYSTEM!!!!

I wish I had your rig!

he got the geforce because he got hte 2nd cheapest video card they offered (or the cheapest forgot)

cause hes goign to replace it wiht a ati all in wonder radeon (or maybe a radeon 8500 DV)

A good geforce 3 will do everything a AIW radeon or radeon 8500 will do, and game better.

Might lose some 2d, but if you get a GOOD geforce3 and not a el cheapo, it will be fine.

 

[QuestionsandAnsweres]

hes doesnt game

at all

he wants all the features of a allin wonder
and good 2d quality

gaming is not important

anyways if he gets a radeon 8500 the gaming performance would be the same

And your point is?? I simply said the reason why he could care less what he paid for it, is yuppie parents bought it for him. Alienware makes millions of dollars off yuppies every day.
