Re: alienware
 

Don't waste your money(or your family's) on an Alienware computer, they're nice, no doubt, but you're paying $2000.00+ for a rig you can build yourself, as someone stated, plus the experience couldn't hurt. All you are really paying for is the name ALIENWARE.

Yeah, really. It doesn't even come with speakers. Plus, you could probably up the ante on some of those specs if you build it yourself, and still be under that price. I'd suggest a barebones with a nice mobo/processor then finish the job off, would be much, much cheaper than that, as we've all said.

now ricer just doesnt mean an ugly car, it can mean an ugly computer. Does anyone need these "upgrades"? Do they do the computer anygood? I spend money on upgrades that do something, not just pretty up my tower. I'd rather have a computer in bright pink with words "IM GAY, I LOVE TEH C0K!!!!!!" written all over it, with the best stuff in it, then another computer like an Alienware, cooler design, everything, but it's 1 GB short of the gay one in Harddrive. Its all about performance baby. Its not how it looks on the outside, its how it acts on the inside

Wow, somewhat intelligent. That's what I say, all this fancy shit is just a waste of money, and in my mind if it was a LAN party, I'd say the person with a comp. like that is just a sad excuse of a hardcore gamer. It's much more fun and self-fullfilling to assemble your own, because when you fire it up, it's like, damn! Well, I sound crazy so I'm going to go wack off...

ok, i AM in an A+ certification class @ my school, but i don't retain info that well (ADD oOo: ) but could any of you help me with a computer, i need good speed and video for gaming, but for a good price. any lists or package deals or websites would be nice.

BTW: thanx for all the info, u talked me out of a rip off

lol, i have ADD too, first thing you have to choose is Intel or AMD

is it just personal preference or is one better than the other?? I guess Intel, but if there is a reason i should choose AMD, then i am all ears

i would suggest the 2.4 pentium processor. it is probably the best buy for the power. I own it and find no problems with it. video card...refer to other threads using the search function
