 | I wanted to get that one also (I saw it long before they got SLI on it) but it wasn't any 35K, it was more like 7K LOL, still REALLY expensive computer. And no Lee Ryder, thats probabally the actual price. Ever been to Alienware.com? You'll see what they're charging for compuers, and I think he made it as expensive as possible. I'll do mine then adda few things I don't really need LOL.

| Yeah I also looked on the site, the cameras 3.5K and the head phones are 3K. I wouldn't pay 200 for those head phones they aren't even made by a machine. They are so far back with technology people are making them by hand. Insane. I think the 3k's just to support them so they can get a machine.

| Alienware is too little for too much, go build a multi opteron prefreably 8 or so and there is your unbeatable pc, lets say 4 gb of ram mabye more... 4, 200GB SATA HDDs and a Dual Layer DVD burner and your set. Hell of a lot cheaper and morepowerful too. |

| What the hell would I do with 8GB ram? What would I even do with 4GB ram? 2GB is enough for me. I wouldn't mind my computer so much if it was just a little faster (maybe 1.5GHZ or better) but the main problem is that it has the world's shittiest graphics card in there. I wish I could just upgrade it but this is like some wierd design and it can't be upgraded.

| You don't need it.... What game requires more then a 64MB graphics card or more then 512MB Ram or a processor faster then 2.0GHZ? Sure the better it is the better it will run but you don't need it. I'm going back to playing games I bought in 2K and 2K1 because thats about what my computer can handle. I need a better computer but not some insane one...
