your a freshman in highschool, you dont deserve to have such a killer rig oOo: id say its overpriced, you can build a pc with those specs for around 12-1400 $

the funny thing is, the dell i bought in 2001 (before i knew about computers hake: ) was 2150$ ...and the specs on that were half of what that is ...1.5ghz p4 256 rd ram geforce 2 mmx 32mb lol.... cry:

That's because that was the best at that time.

I can't comment on the priceage, because I don't know what the 3 GHz goes for or anything like that. I would rather build mine, like mine is now, 1.7Ghz, Gf4 Ti4200 128MB, 512 RAM, and other stuff, probably all around $600.

good god man that's an ugly case!

unless your house in an Invid or Chig base I suggest building your own, with a more Terran looking case biggrin:

I blame all this computer modding on Vin Diesel. First cars, now computers.

Jeezus, I hate Vin Diesel. mwah:

I think Vin deasel is a poser kind of XXX was kinda of fake and stupid. The only good movie he was in was SPR. I dont think a freshmeat could handle an are 51 alienware computer. eek:

2100 and no monitor? Hrm. . .dunno man. It seems a little steep for me. I could build that with water-cooling for the same price.

you'll probably paying alot more just coz it looks good... i say just buy a boring gray box... performs the same, yet is cheaper..

alienware's are a rip off

MrLevinstein · 05-07-2003, 02:45 PM

Just build one, for that price they should give you a monitor at least and a printer... Just like a Cadillac your only paying that much for the label

You're a freshman in high school, so obviously you need this: [url=http://www.alienware.com/system_pages/area-51m.aspx:76c04]CLICK ON ME NOW!!! M16:[/url:76c04]

High School Freshmen and Softmores and Juniors need notebooks since the number of provided computers in many high schools is not as sufficient as they were in the computer lounge in the PC store. You may need some organizing to do once you're in High school. That's why you need a notebook PC with high power. Unfortunately, I have to say: Alienware sells products specifically retrofitted for computer gaming, so you will have little use for this in school, but oh what the fuck, get it. It rocks.

Of course, HOME computers are so much more convinient and more powerful than the average laptop. oOo:
