 alienware is it worth it?????
So i've been thinking about building a new computer and thought of maybe just buying one. Is the alienware Area-51® ALX worth it?

its actually starting at 5200$ if you are smart they add on a 750$ monitor to that comp so if you take it off its a little better but what you should do is go to a lower modle of the alienwear and add all the big stuff to it and it will be cheaper ill see what i can throw together (and dont buy the monitors from them you get them way cheaper else where)
