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?

http://alienware.com/product_detail_Pages/area-51_alx/area-51_overview.aspx?SysCode=PC-AREA51-ALX-R5&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT

Starting at $5,999.

..no? That's insane.

alienware i mean DELL sucks ass F*CK them i could build you that computer for like half the price

build it ur self with a non-gay case and save hundreds

for real more like thousands.......i would so just build it...

i didnt even click on the link i knew they were expensive, didnt know they wanted that much lol.

I lol'd when I saw the topic. Literally.

wow a 850 psu, but if you can build your own it will be ALOT cheaper

i agree, build one for half FTW!

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)

i bet u can buy the parts and put together the exact same thing for under $2000

all that for 3500$ so about 1700$ less than the one you first had

but yes still expencive and it will be about 100$ shipping but its not too bad and if you get a monitor you will total out to be abour 4000$ total or somthing around there

Yep!

yeah i can build it i just haven't don't it in awhile, and i wasn't sure how much shit is costing now a days... last thing i bought was a g5 mouse for $35

Yeah i think i will just build it.

still not sure if i want a new comp or a new car.

agreed.

if you get a new comp you wont need a new car

Not worth it.

umm car > computer
