Build your own. Or find someone to build you one. I'm sure many people on this forum, including me, would be gald build you one for a small fee.

Build your own. Or find someone to build you one for your own personal specs.

I have to echo what the jimmy and GW said: " Build your own, or have a friend build it"
You'll get alot more for your money that way. Allienware makes a good machine, but you'll pay out the A.. for it.

just buy all the parts from newegg and ship them to me, ill build it for $50, mail it back next day, and you will still have paid less then you would with alienware

Do your homework online, post on forums and get something in your budget. Then when you got your list bring it to a local computer shop, not bestbuy or curcuit city, just a local shop who can order pretty much anything. Have them bring it in and build it, this way if anything gets fried during assembly they are responsible and you wont' have to wait 4 weeks to get new gear.

I build my own but when my buddy's buy new ones I spec it for them and then get the local shop to get it in and build it. Most places will match what tiger or new egg, and NCIX offer as best price.
