Alienware...

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!

This looks ideal for LAN parties.

Any particular model you've got in mind?

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.

I don't know, I like macs, but they look a bit fragiole and
poncy. The Lotus Elise to the Jeep that is a PC...

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.

Electro: That's part of the reason I'm asking for opinion
here.

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.
