You're getting an Alienware computer? Nice choice! I'm getting one of their laptops when I get a job.

Plasma or LCD?


I would go with LCD.

500Gig on one hard drive or 2 of 250gig?


2 of 250gig, cause it's always good to have a backup if one fails.

The nicest colour combination?


My nicest color combo would be black case with blue light, but that's just me.

What should be upgraded in this system?


It's already a pretty high quality system, but I guess memory space, since it's a gaming computer.

Is the price Alright?


In America it costs around $5000, I think, but I would pay it.

Are there better options?


Not that I know of.

I wouldn't buy Alienware; I'd buy my own components & case so that I'm not paying for their pricey logo. Otherwise, the specs are pretty good. I'd definitely go with LCD over plasma.

I can get a PC that is 3 times as good as yours for the same price you pay. Buy some books on desktop assembly and then search for parts on the internet, Personally I thought my best deal was a Freon cooling system for 300 dollars. My computer runs at 4.7 GHz on a quad core overclocked processor, and it still costs less than whatever you plan to pay for your system. why? because I built it myself.

-You dont say, of course its nice when it costs 5000$!!!!


all the rich people don't get alienware for gaming, they get voodoo computers

5.0 GHz and dual nvdia ge graphics cards? hmm though a tad expensive, it kicks alienware's butt, which is ONLY expensive and not that great (it only looks cool with the lights)
