alienware is one of the best pc's out there for gaming. thats some serious hardware you just got there. they are pretty reputable IMO.

I've never heard NEthing bad about Alienware. I noticed you went for data integrity/reliability as opposed to HD speed. Was that a deliberate choice or just a guess? Also, no multi-layer DVD burner? I am shocked! I'd'a figgR'd you'd'a at least went for that. Haven't visited Alienware's website in 5-6 months, but that hadda be an option...

Still, you're gettin a pretty serious setup.

i just bought a new laptop and got the faster HDD and DL DVD burner but thats just me. U also may want to bump up ur ram to play the games that are just coming out. Personally i think Alienware is way over prices so i just bought a barbone Asus Z71-V and had ISTNC.com install all the stuff i bought from them in it. Its alot cheaper than the one i configured on alienware. Its also lighter and better battery life. If money wasnt a problem and ur using it for a desktop replacment that shgould be fine.

Heh. I just realized how pathetic my comp is... that LAPTOP has six times the clock speed, four times the memory, and five times the hard drive space of my old full-tower! How sad is that? I'm happy for you though dude...Alienware machines are nice! Use it well!

yeah i took off the DVD burner to get the better HDs.

APG96, why would i need more than a gig of ram, none of the new games coming out even need close to that, BTW, its DDR2 ram so it'll be str8.

I went towards data securtity in the hard drives because my processor speed is so fast i thought that i might as well let my data be secure since im gonna be in college and i dont wanna loose all my shit. But those HDs should write pretty fast.

i said for that games that are just coming out. U dont need it YET. but it will come around. On my new comp i got a gig but left one slot open so i can just buy another 1 gig stick and pop it in.

IMHO the alienware is overpriced.. way overpriced..
