If I was looking for a pre-assembled PC box, then I'd look no further than Alienware. I've always lusted after their gaming systems...

I prefer to build my own pc systems, that way I know exactly what is inside the box. I don't think I would get any pre-built peecee system, from anyone, mainly for the above reason.

That's if you trust them... color me a synic, but I would rather KNOW then trust. ... Besides, which mobo's do they use??? I prefer Giga-Byte since I have never, ever, had an issue with any from them, but I did on the Asus I tried last summer. Actually, also had the issue with a replacement Asus that the store gave me, thinking the first one was bad. They both didn't like my AMD t-bird 1.4GHz chip, but the Giga-byte loved it. As Chef would say, 'made sweet love all night long' .

Ahhhhhh, the cute women working at the computer stores . There is one of those at the Harley dealership near where I live. She works in the clothes department... I am waiting for the vest I ordered to come in, so that I can go there. I just hope she is working there when I go next.

The things we do for women....

alienwares are for people who want an amazing system but dont mind spending thousands more for a big name. Build your own or get some asian dude (i dont mean to be racist) to build you one. www.fticomputer.com great wintel machines for gaming...cheap too

Hey krossfyter, I keep intending to ask, what the hell is your avatar of??? I can't make it out too well. It might be that I need new contacts (getting them on Saturday), or the fact that I am color blind (see just under 1/2 the actual colors), but I would like to know.
