Lol. AlienWare certainly provide a cool finish to their products but they are **** expensive compared to constructing your own system...

Congrats on going it on your own.

Bezerkely is fun. The People's Republic of Berekely. A little restrictive, but a fun town none the less.

It is going to make it harder to steal your computers however...

ahahaha....It can actually be either I customized their workstation package. BTW my alienware is equipped with GPS and an automatic self destruct that will detonate upon reaching a certain distance from my office....you guess the distance....heehee

long as you dont steal the free t-shirt I got with my purchase.

I would've almost shared your joy if it hadn't been for my recent purchase...

Thermaltake Xaser III 90% aluminium chassi, 7 coolingfans plus a front panel fan controlling system. Front panel made of amazingly good looking steel and a nice E-LED.

Inside there is:

1x 180GB
1x 120 GB
1x 80 GB
1x 60 GB

Total: 440 GB

P4 2,53 GhZ
768 DDR Ram
Radeon 9700 Pro
Creative soundblaster audigy 2 platinum (with 5.1 surround + subwoofer)

And of course cool cold cathode light tubes...
And a nice 17 TFT Samsung special edition.
Oh and there is a break-in alarm system to, so now thiefs can steal my **** without letting me know about it :)

Download the .rar to look at some pictures.

And yes, I just had to brag...

I put this together myself, I'd say that this all together cost max 1200$ USD (without screen)

One very important thing to remember about Alienware is the Tech Service. Best in it's class by a long shot.

That warranty alone is likely worth the pricetag, I have no doubt.

DDD
June 3rd, 2003, 03:05 PM
yup exactly....they even have on-site support

mdipi
June 3rd, 2003, 03:10 PM
those are the old cases, they remind me of the new firestrom ones. now i think i might just build my own but i would buy an alien case, cause thats what my buddy wants me to do. but i want the tech help lol/.
