cooling parts u can buy urself... alienware cases look cool, but not that good imo... their cases can be bought as well, they just put the parts in thats itgburndred wrote:
Isn't alienware just all the normal part from the manufacturer except for a high quality case and some really good cooling parts.
So your basically just spending the extra money on what?cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

I'd rather build my own the spend the money that would have been spent on the alienware computer on something cool. Like a paintball gun or something like that

And don't forget the DFI Infinity board. That's what I'll be getting when it comes out.
EDIT: Oh wait, you mean out now as in by them? Not many atm, but it doesn't really matter, as you have no Conroe to stick in it anyway.
