I've made up my mind!

[SargentJosh]

Get ready? I am prepared for this one.

I have made my decision on the PC I am getting. Any one know what this is?




It is the Alienware Area 51 ALX. Worth $5,559.20

Although I'd like to create a discussion about this type of PC, nothing like "not worth it, too expensive" because money has no value to me.

Waste of a comment there. Did you not read what I said?

I did read. Dude, this computer would be outdated within 2 years. Why not build a computer? You would know your computer by heart and you can choose everything you want. Sorry but this is just a stupid waste of money. If money has no value to you, maybe give it to the poor or support this server cause we are in the need of money.

And since when are you my financial advisor? The Area 51 ALX has easy to upgrade ability. And I've already customized this computer. I am thinking about building one but I don't think I should, I am not that knowledgeable about building PCs.

Its really simple really. Like if you can put two lego blocks together, you can build a computer.

Wiring, making sure nothing can short? Making sure you handle every single bit of equipment correctly. Come up with a PC I can build, really powerful performance with all parts that can be recieved in Australia. Then I will be glad to build one.

what are you talking about building a pc is shit easy

Dude. Its like connect one wire to another. If the wire doesn't fit, then its probably not the plug. I built my first PC when I was 8. Easy stuff dude.

Nice computer, tho a waste of money.

For a videocard, you could wait for new 3xx to release.
Processor is kinda good, but new line will appear in the mid-end of this year.
RAM, okay this wins, tho DDR2 is used better (FOR NOW)

Buy a car instead. Or a huge bag of pot.

Thats actually expensive for such a PC like this one but i have to admit the graphic card..

I can't buy a car, I am moving interstate soon and a car will cost to much to get down there.

Alienware's are good.. But.. For christmas i got almost the same system specific's as this computer and it costed less than alienware.. In my opinion you pay this 5,000$ only for the firm mark not for the "good computer".. You can build your own and better computer for less cash You can buy really good computer with almost the same specific's for around 2,000$ and for the other 3,000$ you can buy something else.. for example if you like motorbikes

Im just saying my opinion If you really like it and want it, than take it!

[Yihka]

They make a point here about the value...

I always wanted an alienware and I think you want one too... Buy it if you do not mind spending extra money on it!

I suggest:

-Putting in 8gb DDR3 ram instead.
-Get blueray!

I wondeR:

-Does it have watercooling?
-Can you add in another same video card or better?
-Do they also overclock your system?
-Can the video card use DirectX 11 fully? ( If not I suggest picking one that can )

If all is yes I would say it lasts for 3-4 years in high quality, afterwards it might drain to medium... ( I am not counting in AA or anything )
