lol

Don't waste your money on those pieces of shit.

[fleaflickerx]

both pieces of shit A. EXPENSIVE AS **** b. go to ibuypower.com and you tell them you want and they make it about $600 2x better than these guraenteed

[Tool]

... It won't be 600 dollars and twice as good, it'll more than likely be 1200 and 2x as good which is still 600 less. And ibuypower sucks anyway, just build it on your own.

*slaps head in frustration*
Alienware is the worst choice. That along with Dell. Always build your own desktop... Laptops... I'm not sure.

take taht 1.8grand and buy parts yourself and it'll be way better then alienware. its just a name.

My friend has the Aurora 7500, holy ****ing shit is that thing fast... Any game, any time, with a billion other applications running. I can honestly say i have never seen that thing lag (other then the lags everyone gets from the game's servers) due too a over load of crap. I think he upgraded the ram though.

Your friend is a ****ing moron.

How so? It works fine.

Ok sweets...lets not call names and get all Irrate...the issue at hand is really not important enough to become upset over is it? If it is ..take it to the Steam Room where it belongs please.

Just because it works fine doesn't mean it's worth the money. I could pay 2 million dollars for an ordinary toaster. Hey it works fine! And so I'm not an moron!

Alienware computers work fine. No questions there.

However, the price is outrageous. You don't need to pay $1800 for those specs.

If you've ever looked into the specs of the 7500, and compared them to other pcs with the same specs(And parts). You would not be saying that its not worth the cash...
