Alienware did one thing good - use of Antec SX1030/1040 case.. other than that, it's just as easy to throw together a PC like theirs for less money using the same case so it essentially looks the same. Maybe you can even order the little Alien logo and put it on your case, then it'd be almost complete... Alienware builds good systems but it all comes at a cost, they are too expensive. Nice system you have there though!

<< And your point is?? >>


My point is (I can't believe you can't figure this out yourself) it's not your money so why do you even care if he spent $4k on it? If he's happy with it, then fine no reason to call people names.

Come back and talk to me in a few thousand posts...


P.S. They sell the alien logo at directron for like $3 I think. Its a standard case badge, I don't believe Alienware designed it.

dude having posts doesnt make your smarter

actually to me it seems it made u dumb

btw

he didnt want to build his own cause he wanted to have a warrenty (he doesnt know much about computers. his dad does but hes always busy and doesnt have time to fix it). He would of biult his own if he had time but they dont.

jeez tuna, you are always being pessimistic on everything. are you against alienware too? no point insulting him. calling him a yuppie. i might as well say i dont like your website and it sucks. go hire a professional webdesigner.

Congrats PeterJun21.

One question though, why did you get one scsi and one IDE? Is the IDe strictly for storage?

My site does suck. I agree :)

I be working on the redesign :) I take critism when it's due.


I dont like companies that RAPE people. Microsoft tries to RAPE people. ALIENWARE has a neat idea, but they try to RAPE people, which I find offensive. Maybe thats why I am a sucky buisnessman, but I don't RAPE people.

TunaBoo, take an intro to economics class, then you'll see why some companies "rape" the consumer. Maybe you prefer a communist society where the government sets the price?

you wont make money if you dont rape. if bill gates gave you his position, would you rape? i would. anyways, he has 50billion and you have nothing. he raped and enjoyed it. you didnt. economics.

Don't forget a company is there to provide a service. In the case of Alienware they make PCs specifically for performance and a premium is expected. Nothing wrong with buying a system from Alienware.

When did making money become bad? No one is forced to by a computer from Alienware. There are hundreds of computer companies who sell rigs for more or less then Alienware so IF YOU WANT to buy a computer from them your not getting raped.

what may I ask could this computer be used for by a kid and not with gaming, and with no 3d design video card?

you could do sum mean webdesign on that thing......

lol


Imagine the 1.4 AJHAR (whatever the good one is) in an epox kt7 with 512mb DDR, watercooled to a silent 1.7ghz, with a geforce3 and 2 60gig maxtor 7200rpm HDDS in raid-0. HAAHHHAHA, thats like....2 grand MAX!!!!! maybe 2500 with his monitor. plus you could game like a madman and it would kick the living piss outta the p4 any day of the week.

IMAGINE THE DUAL PALOMINO 1.2 SYSTEM!!!

AHAHAHHAHAA


wow, what a difference 4 grand of your parents money and 700 of your own makes in choosing a computer.....
