i got an alienware computer about 3 weeks ago and what can i say but it outperforms my home built computer. And also your paying for the delicious casing and its just higher quality and you have more reliabilty than your own home made rig as i have a 3 year warranty on the alienware.

personally if i had another few grand i would get another alienware, fk building another comp - just too complicated and tedious

There is nothing wrong with alienware, its just way overpriced. Its meant for people who want a nice gaming machine and nice parts but are either too lazy or dont know how to do it themselves

And what does a 16 year old do that requires a very expensive server cpu and a $2000 professional graphics card, and 2TB of hard drive space?

I got given a load of money and wanted to build an expensive server

wasnt my money to begin with so didn't think i would miss it

What do you use the server for? I would have built a really nice gaming machine, but thats just me
