OVERPRICED!!!!!
Why pay over 3000 bucks for a computer worth 1500. Sure u get a pretty case, but...

The only one with a true post count!

Note: You can find a great deal of information on a forum such as this by using the search feature. It's a good habit to get into. 75% of the posts on this forum are from people who ask the same questions, over and over, looking for similar information.

This is meant to be taken constructively, and in no other manner. No chop-busting.

I hope you find the post informative. Consider yourself forewarned about Alienware.

The only thing I can add to the previous post about Alienware is that the warranty company is now a different outfit, and the RMA policy for failed devices appears to be somewhat better recently than it was earlier in the year.

But the prices are still outrageous. If you wish to purchase a serious gaming computer, pre-built ... the best deal, bar none, is Voodoo. Compare the components and prices for yourself, against companies like Falcon NorthWest and Hypersonic.

Of course, the smart thing to do is build your own, and save hundreds, (even thousands) of dollars. Take it from someone who knows the score, and learned the hard way.

Thank you very much for your help. I am new to the forums, next time I will search for info. Sorry. Thanks for the sugestion. As for Alienware I have to admit I was shocked by what happened to you. I noticed that of all the so called gaming computer companys they have the best prices that I had seen (especialy with there super low ddr ram deal right now). A pity that they have such poor service, but better to know from someone in the know and with experiance than learn a lesson the hard way.
