What do you think of this alienware?

I was just wondering what people's opinions were on the following alienware. It seems great for the price. Also, if anyone can point me towards a better deal, that would be great. The link is below:

http://www.alienware.com/customize/area-51-7500-PRM-desktop.aspx?SysCode=PC-AREA51-7500-PRM&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT

without even looking at the link i can tell you that it is heavily overpriced, build it yourself on newegg

Dell=Evil Dell owns alienware, hence Alienware=evil

You should look at the link its dual 9800 gt, a quad core processor, 4 gigs of RAM, and a 500 gig hard drive.t8trg8tr

I looked at its link and true it isnt as overpriced as expected but is still overpriced, you could save money buy building yourself,

also the configuretion in the link had a 250gb HDD not a 500GB.

Build yourself you could get for $800

Get this setup it is cheaper and better in every way

Self build if you can. not only is it probably a lot cheaper but you get the satisfaction of building it yourself and getting precisely what you want.tautitan123

I know self building is the best option, but I'm not exactly a pc expert, and I don't want to screw anything up :(.

shove off people

some people don't want to/can't build their own

i'd build mine, but my dad wouldn't pay for it

it is true that alienware has a bad reputation however i know many people who have been very happy with their alienware computers

i am currently buying from pcsforeveryone.com because they are located near my home, however alienware may be a good option for people who do not know much about computers

that is indeed an EXCELLENT computer for the price

i'm impressed 2 9800GT's quad processor and 4gb of ram, a very good price/performance rig would be thecrysis warhead pc

however that is not nearly as good performance as the one you selected

you might want to look into some other companies like vigorgaming for example also

if you like the way an alienware looks then check out the asus vento and raidmax ninja

Hp??? there gaming computers are overpriced aswell if you dont know they own voodoo which is just as overpriced as alienware which is owned by dell

and ive seen some of them prebuilts cost up to 2 grand that only come with 9500gt

this looks like alienware

building your own will save you moneyNSR34GTR

yep

If you can't build one or don't trust yourself (like me lol) then find a local computer store that will build it for you. This shop near my house will build any rig for about 40 bucks.CJL182

IMHO, if you can't build this is your best option. You get to pick the specific parts you want, not just pick from a few offered.

Also, people like pre-builts because if they mess up they don't have to fix them, but you usually have to ship the entire PC back to who you bought it from and wait weeks. If you use a local PC shop. you can just run it back up to them, and with a simple problem have it back the same day, but even with a bad problem it should not take long.

I also feel more comfortable with someone I can look in the eye and work with, not just some body over the phone, you will never meet.

dude i recommend considering an hp or something like that. they're way cheaper and made with the same parts. The computers are pre-built, but cheap. Not as cheap as building of course, but not too much more either. Just make sure the case is big enough for your gpu if you do this.n_kors

I lost you when you said "HP."

Build your own. www.newegg.com is your best friend. There are other PC Hardware websites depending in which country you live in. Cheers.

How bout u shove off scine u dnt feel lie learning haveing a fun experience and scine it seems u barley have or may have no knowledge on how to save money then go buy that piece of crap Prebuilt because when i finally have 2 4870x2's in crossfire its gona put it to shame as is. Also to get your facts straight we all tell people to build there own because the hassel with a pre-built desktop and the money u pay is tooverpriced, the only perbuilt we suggest is labtops if ur constantly on the move. Also this is how i know ur a dam newb at cmps ur impressed with two 9800gt's with a quad core, did u even know there a rebanded name from the 8800gt, get your facts straight and dont knock people for saying the trusth ill leave it at this u wana be lazy and spend loads of money on a pre-built then go do it but dnt tell us to shove off for u ignorance and lazyness for nto wanting to build your own, its called researching and reading your manual i hope u do know how to read right.:evil:

Saw that overpriced piece of tin called laptop of theirs.

WTF, 3500 and above ?? With only a little above 2000 you can make a normal desktop PC that is 3 times better and better yet make your friends cry in envy when they look at it.

Seriously now, laptops are not for gaming. Never were, never will be.
