Ooooo, that's sexeh
What about a 74 gig raptor as primary drive?

[kempez]

That's quite a lot of cash mate. Personally I would spec up my own system for that sorta money. £2000 would get you:

4400+
7800GTX
PCP&C 510 Sli
DFI SLi-D
Audigy ZS
Crucial Ballistix 2 x 1gb
Lian Li Case (£200ish)
Dell 2001 FPW (the 1600 x 1200 one)
250gb SATA Hitachi/Samsung
NEC DVD-RW
Saitek Eclipse Keyboard
Razor Diamondback Gaming mouse

And thats not even using US prices

my sig in a better case for 800

but that alienware is one seriously cool machine

bit overpriced though

And thats not even using US prices

Canadians, like Brits pay more for their hardware than the US.

i know this is an old thread but ive got to highlight this

Memory: 2GB Low-Latency Dual Channel DDR PC-3200 at 333MHz - 4 x 512MB

thats pathetic for a 'gaming' machine
