Nevermind I just realized I had to select options and the price jumps up significantly when I do. The alienware was not a deal after all.

Yea you got a pretty good deal.

Maby the graphics card was a little overprice for what you got, but anyway I would be happy to accept a deal like that.

Yea the graphics card originally had a deal going on but I missed it by like 5 minutes. Literally. I had everything in the shopping cart and when I was about to buy the page refreshed and the video card disappeared. Sold out! Can you believe that luck? But I would have only saved about $30 or so. Not a huge difference.

Hey 30 bucks is like a handjob from a hooker....when you look @ it like that its a lot of money ^-^


Still nice system but yea Alienware is nice but I look at them like a gaming version of Best Buy PCs. You get all warranties and what not but they over charge you like a mad man.
