    Here's a little story for you all.

    For a few years I was using a gaming PC that was built by Antec. The computer was great, did all the jobs I needed it to do but lacked graphics for good gaming.

    So I decided to finially sell my old pc, and upgrade to an Alienware gaming pc.

    All I can say is WOW, what an amazing job they did. Anyone that has the money I defintely suggest to buy one of these great rigs, It cost me around $5550 USD.

    If you've got the money go out and get one today!

    I can't imagine buying a PC that cost more then my used car. I don't really see a need to pay $6000 for a pc either when you can get a BEAST right for $1k. But I dont doubt thats a sick rig

    That seems a great machine. Good choice,

    Quality always comes with a cost but this seems too costly. One can go for that as long as it is affordable...

I've decied to upgrade my PC whenever i am able so i've upgraded from 2GB RAM to 4GB RAM and from a 512mb graphics to a new Sapphire HD5550 1GB Graphics card

    @seagate, what video card did you have before? It seems people never learn that 1GB memory on a GPU that doesn't really have the power to use it is equal to ZERO. HD 5550 is wasted money, if you ask me.

    On-topic: Alienware was also some kind of Bugatti in the PC gaming world. Unfortunately, resell value of a Bugatti car can't be compared to one of a computer - Alienware or not, a computer will fall below 40% of its purchase price in less than two years...

    @kodrutz I cant exactly remember what it was , but it was a radeon 512MB something or other, IT was okay but i noticed it was lagging on high performance games such as FSX even with gamebooster etc. So i've upgraded to a Sapphire 1GB HD5550 and it plays FSX quite smoothly , from my average FPS of 15 , its not doubled atleast,. I also upgraded from 2GB Ram to 4GB RAM which i havent been able to test at the moment as i've just recently upgraded to x64 to get full use of my RAM and not installed everything back yet

    And i can see where your coming from omparing it to the bugatti of cars :p . as you mentioned , overtime they will get cheaper and cheaper as we get more advanced with technology and start having 100GB ram etc :p

    If you can still change the card where you bought it without any problems, replace the 5550 with a 5770. I got a 4770 almost two years ago and it still kicks a*s for my needs - only 1280X1024 monitor, so I can still play most new releases with all the eye candy turned on.

    Nice, I'm glad you're happy with your purchase, I personally prefer building my own PC's, but to each their own.
