Hello Everyone.... :)
So, For Christmas. My parents have decided to give me mostly cash and 4 or 5 presents, I'm getting about 1000$. I'd like to spend 400-600$ Of that, on a new computer. I'm in no need of a Monitor, I have a 24" Sceptre [On The Desk] and 42" LCD [Hung On A Full Motion Panel]. I also do have the graphics card, Dual 9800 GTX's. I'm not picky with the brands of the parts... as long as they work :) I'd like a setup that can run everything max on; Garrysmod, Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike: Source. Along with doing 3D / Video Rendering. Also... I do have Windows 7 32 And 64-Bit..
I will update the thread as suggestions are made...

I'm no expert, but this looks pretty good to me. You'll obviously need a hard drive, optical drive, etc. if you don't have another rig to recycle them from.

edit: everything also qualifies for free shipping :buddy:
Optical Drive I have yes.. Must have at least 20 of them laying around my house. Keyboard / Mouse ofcourse... I have a 500GB Maxtor and a 1.5 TB Seagate I can put in there. I would prefer Tiger Direct due to my dads company works with them alot... So we get alot of discounts. But! With all the discounts those products already have, Newegg is fine :)
I was thinking a 955 Build myself.. wanted to see what other FPers would suggest :) Thanks! I'll see what other people post and decide in a day or so :) Keeping that case for sure though. I love it!

Well! I don't need a new computer anymore... My dad told me he was getting me Dual 9800 GTX's for christmas... But. He ordered my " graphics cards " to the house, and it turns out its a Alienware Area 51 ALX Fully Loaded.... Smarty Pants :P Now who said tech people don't buy Alienware :P Plus cash xD

Wow I would be really disappointed. Also I am not kidding.
You'd be dissapointed if you got a Alienware Area 51 ALX Fully Loaded over Dual 9800 GTX's... ?
Yes because alienware is shit.

cons:
>looks shit
>pay out of your arse
>aimed at 12 year olds
>makes you look like a spoilt 12 year old in the eyes of anyone but a 12 year old
>outdated SLi where a 58__ would probably outperform it with more features for a lower price
>in typical alienware style, SLi has been added just so they can say "HEY LOOK KIDS, IT HAS TWO CARDS" increasing the price with little care for performance
pros:
>EL EE DEEZ
>you'll be THE ENVY OF YOUR 12 YEAR OLD FRIENDS
>EL EE DEEZ
>functions as a set of Christmas lights
I would return that shit ASAP, spend 3/4 of the price on a much better system and pocket the rest

Sorry to burst your bubble, I'm 15.
#1 - They look amazing.. maybe you say they look like shit because you can't afford it.
#2 - It's 6000$, Not like I'm paying 40,000$ For it.
#3 - It's obviously not... It's aimed at people who are looking for quality and good looking setup.
#4 - I am spoiled, do you have a problem with that? I get what I want because I get good grades and school and I behave properly. Is it a problem that my dad owns a private hospital?
#5 - Outdated SLI? Ok... Whatever floats your boat cupcake.
#6 - Great Performance..
#7 - EL EE Deez? What the fuck are you a terrorist from Afghanistan or something?
#8 - Alot of my friends have Alienware's :)
#9 - Read #7
#10 - It does function as great christmas lights, I love the LED.
I won't return it because its a gift from my dad for christmas... even thouigh he screwed up on the delivery. Don't worry, he got me all the equipment for a good network. I don't need to buy anything else.. I have what I need.

response
1)it's a matter of opinion, some people prefer ricey shit, others sleek and sexy
i honestly don't see much appeal in it's look
2)6000 dollars. are you fucking kidding me? i could build the same thing for less than 2000 with the same hardware. jesus christ you're paying for a logo. it's overpriced. it's like a mac
3)it's aimed at people who are have no idea what they are doing when it comes to computers
4) being spoiled is bragging about what you have
5)by outdated he means its not using current gen cards. With the new ati 5 series cards out now, they are far superior to nvidia in price and performance. dx 11 and eyefinity.
6)yea great performance at an absolute bullshit price
7) not IEDS leds
leds are lights, not homemade explosives
8)your friends are stupid too
meh i'm done
Some of my friends are stupid I agree. Alienware is a brand, peoples choice. Some idiots don't need to troll if someone buys a Alienware. It's a really nice setup, I doubt you could of spent 2000$ On it. I'll post the specs below. My dad was a Network Administrator / IT Manager for 20 Years, He knows what hes doing.. Along with me. I know a good amount about computers.. It looks sexy! How could you not see appeal in its look :P Maybe its just me. I love the alien look.

6000$
Boy, oh man. What's the specs on that bitch?

5,000. Probably rapes your machine in the ass.
And I didn't [i]even[/i] go overboard on it. I have all sorts of ideas to bump it up to 6,000...
Screw them, if you have no problem with paying for an alienware, buy it. Even if it's overpriced.
my personal opinion is that it isn't worth the money and you could buy everything inside it for much less, but you have the money

Exactly.
I have no problem paying the price, its my choice. You guys can troll all you want, But I chose to buy Alienware's.
Armo.. Your graphics is probably better. I have SLI 295 GTX's... I have Raid 1 Of 2 300GB Raptors... Along with Raid 0 Of 2 x 1TB For Storage... Backing up to my home file share servers. No need for 12GB RAM... I only have 6GB.
Rea.. 1.5K System ya... sure alright. You don't know me. So don't assume I don't know anything about computers. To add-on, Rea. Your a complete troll alright? I'm really not interested in your comments. Just because I have a alienware, doesn't mean my dad doesn't know more then you which he obviously does. So, Don't comment anymore here. I will not reply, I'm not interested.

I decided to go up overboard. 2x 1TB, 2 Velocis, ect. Mines faster. It's cheaper. It isn't overpriced, you build it yourself. It doesn't have ugly ricer LEDs, you get the point.
Removed the 30''. Who gives a fuck. Time to go even more overboard.
