Anyone got one of their computers? I've decided that I'm too lazy to build my own computer and make it look nice so I'm looking at buying one. Alienware look nice and the new case that they're going to release is suitably funky for me.
w00t!

hmm those small computers are ok, i suppose, but what i would like is a big SGI mainframe machine for some hardcore computation, or a cray or something. i would really like to get an old VAX mainframe and network that then case mod it with blue LEDs and the works. those alien things are ok, but seriously, you could spend £80 on a standard case and bits+pieces and do a better job yourself, all you need is some blue LEDs, a hacksaw, spray paint and common sense. i dont understand why people try and mod their PCs to look good, just get a mac, they ARE beautiful.

No particular model in mind but I just want a good fast computer and these seem to do it. Just that new case looks superb! Not that tiny one though although it'd be sweet to have a PC that looks like my GC :P

I really don't like macs. They are crap in my opinion. I've had to use one at work and I find it cumbersome.

Yeah the black does look nice.

They're a huge rip off. Some of them computers you could build yourself for a third of the price. They just look pretty.

They just look retarded. Cases should be square and beige. Just doesn't like right.

Alienware would be the rig of choice for me, but the Dell is holding up fine, and parents pay the bills anyway.
DOn't game anymore, so pretty sure next computer will be a Mac anyway, fucking Windows is so ass backwards.
