Can someone try to customize an Area 51 PC on the Alienware site… and see if your IE crashes? ---

or don’t bother, alienware has the same problems as Macs(says the guy on an iMac) they are barely cutting edge hardware inside a rugged but unupgradeable shell with a huge price tag for all the pretty-ness, except alienwares run shitty vista instead of primarily leopard with the option to run shitty vista… buy a lenovo ---

I haven’t priced out an Alienware rig since Dell bought them. Chrome let me customize… silly prices. Just seeing if I go through someone (like [www.ibuypower.com](http://www.ibuypower.com)) if I can get the monitor cheaper, and save on shipping… and get the OS and a warranty. Last time I shopped between Tiger Direct and Newegg, ibuypower had them both beat… and that was a built machine with a warranty shipped to my door. ---

Alienware = looks nice, but overpriced. Paying for the name. I fell victim to it and though they were the bomb back in like 02 and spent $3500 on a laptop from them only to sell it for $2000 a few months later and get a $900 Dell that performed the same 3dmarks, etc. and just had a plain Dell case. ---

I’d never use any site other than [envigopc.com](http://envigopc.com) because I know one of the owners that started it up. It’s a fairly new company but they are legit. Also, if I was building new I would build it myself from newegg most likely.
