and yeah, expensive is the word. but i bought the exteneded warranty over the phone. all parts, all software as well. 5 years.

[White_Hindu]

Rip off. Alienware is overpriced.

Don't get me wrong, I cream myself over Alienware computers. I just don't have the money for one. I do like the AMD/ATI combo. If there's one thing I hate more than NVidia, it's Intel.

**EDIT

I like how you don't have wireless anything. Wireless sucks balls. I mean, what happened to data security? I could use my transistor radio to watch your porn! And don't get me started on wireless input. What happens when your mouse runs out of batteries in the middle of a game? Props to you on getting the oldskool input devices.

[SyntaxTerror]

Most wireless mice would warn you for at least an hour before they completely die.

Alienware PC's are overpriced. Selling a 2005 Gamer PC with a ATI RADEON? 9550SE 128MB is just a joke as there are already 2 newer generations of graphic cards from ATI available and the card does not suit such a PC....kinda like driving a Porsche with a Gremlin motor in it...next time you look for a Gamer PC, ask on MercuryEngine and you will be sorted out with the Hardware you need and then you can order it in a store where they build it together for you and you will save at least 500 bucks. :wink:

[supaz]

I agree...

You can take advantage of some great deals out there using rebates.

I got a free mobo out of it...$60 for a 200GB Seagate HD, etc...

What are you talking about? We all know an "Official Release" from Microsoft is really just the Beta release anyways - when the SP1 comes out, that's the final release.
