Hopefully when i finish my engineering course i will get some money together and move to america or somewhere else money can be made easy, thats if the middle-east havent got even more pissed off and done something about it by then.

wow i feel bad for you as the 7900 gtx's just came out and a new nvidia gpu is being released in a day or so, u could of built that computer for like 3k lol
tuperwho
I sure hope you play other games. Cuz that system is certainly overkill for this one. I'd like to see how much it can outperform my $1600 system I built. I would like to think not much, but that's prob. just defensive/jelousy talking.

How do you feel over paying just for the Alienware name? You can a build a system yourself to work more efficiantly than what Alienware gives. Also after all the parts, software and w/e else you put in (case lights, liquid cooling possibly, dual video cards) you will still be hitting maybe half Alienwares price tab with the thought in mind that you build YOUR computer.

And let me see if anyone can put together a rig like that using newegg or etc for pricing and you will see that you will exceed $3000.00 easy!!
I've built many a rig! Im old and Lazy!! LOL Who cares!

AlienWare, we'll do the Building, You do repairing (when something goes wrong).....
AlienWare, OverPriced, Piles of junk that should not have the right to grace this planet....
I could build a better system, Cheaper, with the much better performance, and probably in 1/4 of the time too... :\

Lol Dell Are Taking Over Alienware, Lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dell is purchasing Alienware, yes. However everything I've read on the topic (Inquirer / THG) would say that Alienware will remain what they are today. Basically Dell bought themselves into the High-end gaming market.

well if that is the case! GOOOD! better Customer service! anyway received the rig today!

X1600XT PCI-Express
Asus P5LD2 Motherboard
Antec SLK1650B: 350W Mini-Tower BLACK w/USB2.0

Ew, not worth the money you paid at all. AW is nice though, my friend has one.

Don't revive 'new' threads? I think you meant old... this one is a month old.
I'm with you on custom building a desktop system any day of the week. For my AW purchase is a notebook... well I guess they call it a "Desktop replacement". But it doesn't replace my desktop, just use it for mobility.
As people would say for some of the crazy priced items in this game, something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. There'll always be someone willing to pay more for a well respected name. I could refer back to the BMW thing...

i have some stats on the bench marking! will get more detailed info when i get home.
3dmark 2005..........................score 33,960
doom3 demo..................................142.9 fps
Played bf2 and GW at the same time with no obvious drop in performance, although the cpu temp and vid card temp rose roughly 16 degrees C. which was alittle un-nerving. BUt overall very impressive!
Crushing performance in BF2, and if you ever played bf2 youll know that its a resoucre hog and lagging as f**k, no where near as smooth as GW, but GW is server side which helps alot.,
Will be running more benchmarks tonight, hopefully i can get the frycry demo and see how she'll do!!!
Peace. Woot woot!

Many claim to have paid less for comparable performance, but thats like saying that a z06 corvette is just as fast as a lingenfelter corvette, NO CONTEST!
Currently under full load my rig temp is at 33degrees C!!!!!

Virus or Big... can't help but LoL. That threat is present for any system no matter how much is spent on it.
And all systems (again regardless of price) can be protected by keeping a good AV solution up to date and by using a good firewall (hardware being the best solution there, my opinion).

Sir Skullcrasher
is it really worth it to spend 5k on a brand new system?
4runner
well yes and no, tbpo, my last few rigs i custom built got quite expensive, the additional $1900.00 i paid for the Alienware name, factory built, top of the line components, warranty etc! I felt was worth it! considering my last custom rig cost about $3600.oo! (p4 3.73g ee, 9800pro 256,2 gigs ram, raptors raid o, cooler master case, turbo cool 650, plextor drivex2, abit p4 board audgigy 2zs etc,etc,etc) 2 1/2 year old rig! Still rocks and still going its my back up rig as well as my dell xps laptop for portable gaming!!
Peace
SOmetimes money isnt everything, im an enthusiast, i enjoy high end Stuff, and would gladly pay more if need be.
As for virus Funny, but i dont surf the web on this rig, dont d/l anything and strictly a gaming machine!!! Virus dont concerns me, ALL out performance does, with reliablitly!!

Last time I ran 3DMark, I had 23,065. It was sunday that it was last run.
Aquamark results: 27,023 was the end result.

its advisable to run matching sticks of memory, 2 1 gig sticks are better than 1 gig + 2 512 although im not entirely sure.
the 1st run i made it scored 19,000 something, re-ran at various vid setting s and scored changed alot! not exactly sure what idid.
also try aquamark, cool video for the test.,

Well that's interesting... just a brief descript of the major components in my desktop, this being the one I built as opposed to my notebook.
AMD64 4000+
Corsair 2x512 2-2-2-5 RAM (with LEDs)
Asus X1800XL PCIe
What else effects performance... umm...
Catalyst 6.3 drivers
DirectX 9.0 December 2005 (as I recall)
Haven't run a benchmarking program lately, but in Guild Wars using the in game FPS measurement I never see it below 60, and that includes the busiest towns. And that is at 1600 x 1200 with everything I can find set to max.
Addition: in the end anything above ... oh say around 40fps doesn't really matter anyway as it cannot be noticed.

Even though I would have built mine, that is a kickass rig.
Built in water cooling is a lot better than hand done because often things break and ruin parts, with a warranty he won't have that problem.
Only change I would have is 7900GT's instead of the 7800GT's. But does Alienware even offer those yet?

Dell Bought Alienware, Dell Sucks and Alienware USED TO BE respected in my books..
don't believe your "5000 dollar" computer is just a dell with some fancy lookin case.. check this.
http://www.theregister.com/2006/03/2...uys_alienware/
Me personally though, i think it was stupid to spend 5k on a system when you could easily get one the same specs for about 2k - 3k cheaper.

Dual channel needs 2 matching sticks in each pair of slots (or just 1 pair)
Take the 1 gig stick out and get the 2 512 sticks setup for dual channel and see if that helps.

It quite clearly states that Alienware will continue to be it's own business following the same protocol it's been using all this time. That means that they are not Dell systems with a rebadged fancy look to them. They will continue to use name brand high end components when creating systems. The only thing new is that the profit goes to Dell now.
