Alienware
Does anyone work for Alienware..? I'm looking to purchase a ~$3000 system from them but they want to charge me over $200 for shipping. Has anyone purchased a system from them and been able to recieve free shipping? I just ordered a Sony Vaio laptop a few months ago and they threw in overnight shipping from CA for free!

Alienware's are nice, but in all honesty a bit expensive. Building your own computer is not very hard. I built mine and looking to build another soon. A custom home built computer for $3000 would be insane.

Alienware overchargers for everything they build.
You could save ALOT of money by building your own system. .

Its probably been 10 years since I've built a desktop but nowadays its just easier for me to customize it.. The system was only $2100 but with a 24" monitor and taxes + shipping, it added up quickly!

Build your own system with someone to guide you. You'll save a bundle.

have a pc savvy friend build you the pc then. thats what i did a couple years ago. $1200 for a p4 3.4, 2 gigs ram, 300 gb hd, 6800 gtx vid card, etc. then i bought a $300 19" lcd. so for half of what you're looking to spend and i have a decent pc that still plays just about everything.

I would say build your own computer, beef up the cooling and overclock it. I got a much better computer for much less money than what alienware offers. I got a 120mm "big typhoon" cpu cooler and I overclock ~30% with my cpu temp the same as stock speed stock cooler. My comp was about $1900 8 months ago and it gets 5.9 in every area on vista rating except one, it gets a 5.6 or 5.7 on cpu performance. If you were going to spend 3k on a computer you could get something much better than what you listed from alienware.

I've had two Alienware's in the past. One desktop and one laptop, and I loved them. You all are forgetting pretty much one thing when building your own computer: Warranty.
Alienware's come with a warranty, I'm not sure how long. If anything is wrong, you call and get help and they will sit on the phone for hours with you to fix the problem and guide you through whatever problems you encounter. They even helped me RAID 0 two harddrive I never even bought through them. To the OP, I can't help with your problem, but if you don't want to build your own system - don't. Quote:
