    If it was $1,500, I'd say buy it.  But guessing it's DELL (I mean Alienware), they will jack the price to... I'm guessing about $3200?

    I mean, you could save a few $1,000 and buy yourself an education with the rest of the money you saved...  Maybe some english composition and essay writting skills?

    P.S.

    Are you lacking in one area and making up in another?  I mean... this will extend your e-penis by a few inches at best.

    FTW!

    The term e-penis or e-peen or e-pen0r is a term commonly used throughout the internet. Rooted in the common male association between the size of one's penis and their desirability or otherwise, this term is used to describe any number of primarily Internet related topics in a competitive manner. The term is almost exclusively used in a competitive context, and in much the same way that penis size would be compared in such competitive contexts in real life circumstances. The term is purely metaphorical, as are penis size arguments in real life, and does not relate directly to any portion of human anatomy. This term seemed to first appear in popular use around the year 2004. A female version of the term, e-poon has also begun to become used popularly in such communities.

    For example, someone who is consistently being proven right on an internet mailing list or message board may be considered to have a large e-penis, as may someone with very rare or hard to obtain items in an online video game.

    urbandictionary.com describes the term e-penis as: A term used to describe the technological prowess of an individual (usually within an online or "internet" community). Factors that engorge the e-penis include bandwidth, computer speed, hard drive size, size of DVD collection, and an impressive frag count in any number of popular first person shooters.

    Then i guess mines the size of a paramecium pretty much:

    Bandwidth-28k dialup. CPU speed-450 mHZ. Hard drive size-12 gig. DVD collection-about 9 or 10.

    Hi M>E>S>M>E>R, that alienware box sounds like total overkill. I don't know about Alienware's quality, but it will be way more than sufficient performance-wise.

    I'd probably spend half of the money on a "smaller" system now and the other half two years from now on a new system that outperforms even the Alienware of today. But if you have the money to burn, I guess you will be quite happy with that monster

    why are you asking if this is a good system?? all you did was pick all the top crap on the list.

  • qotsaqotsa Member UncommonPosts: 835

    I have to chime in here. Be very careful ordering anything from those clowns. I've been going through a bunch of crap with them since February.  Sorry it's a long post. But read before you buy from them. This is not an isolated event with them. Check out reseller ratings and you'll see this stuff seems pretty common.

    February I ordered a PC from them. I usually build them myself, but I had the extra money and read about their "Award winning" customer support. SO I though why not. About two weeks after I placed my order and a week after it was supposed to ship out I decided to cancel my order and build it myself. They said that was fine and shipped the computer anyway.

    After posting a negative review on www.resellerratings.com, I was contacted by the critical issues team there. This lady begged me to keep the system when it arrived, as I was going to refuse the delivery. She told me I was going to be so happy when I got it. I was told I could return it for a full refund if I wasn't happy after that for 30 days. I decided to keep it because it would be here the next day and I just wanted a damn computer.

    The computer came and I installed a few games. I mean this was supposed to be a "dream gaming machine", right? The first game I try plays fine for about 5 minutes and hardlocks and I lost video. It did this with every game I tried. I updated my review at reseller ratings and they had someone call my house from tech support. They replaced the video card right away. The new card came, I installed it and it still had this problem. What came after this mess was them having me try things, while working very slowly. I can only assume the slowness was to make sure I was out of the window I had to return it.

    I spent a few months formatting, reloading, taking parts out, formatting, reloading. Always the same outcome, machine locks up and lost video when playing games. I reloaded this thing at least four times. Finally they tell me they are going to change the motherboard. They wanted to change the part at their factory. I was asked to box this huge machine up and send it back so they could replace the board. I was also asked to send one of my games so they could test it after they changed the part. I sent the play disc for a game and kept the install disc here with me.

    A week and a half later I get a call from them. "Your computer is on it's way back to you." Cool I thought, I'm finally going to have this machine I was going to be so happy with. I asked what all they did.

    "Well Mr. Jim, all we did was reload the operating system. You had the wrong video drivers. We also tested it for 15 hours after reloading it."

    Ok first of all, wrong driver for the video was not possible. I've built and loaded my own pcs for years, I built and loaded pcs for a living. Second, how could they have tested it for 15 hours if I had the install disc on my desk at home? All they had was a play disc. I told him flat out that they've done nothing but wasted my time by shipping it to them and I bet itwould crash the day it got here. When it arrived it took about 10 minutes to get it to hardlock and lose video. They destroyed my game I sent along, didn't put it all back together and scratched the case. I was so mad at this point I emailed the President, Vice president and Supervisor of Customer Service of alienware.

    I was contacted by tech support again. They told me to configure a new system, box the old one up and they replace it with the new one I'd pick out. All I wanted was a working PC. I gave them another chance, despite being kicked in the face by them numerous times. I was told this whole process would take 9-11 days. They got my computer back on June 29th. I just got the new pc last Monday, almost afull two months after they got my other one back. This one has had issues already.

    Now I know they aren't always bad. But do yourself a favor and really check these guys out before you order from them.

    And that goes to everyone.  I know you learned your lesson.  But for the people who think having an Alienware, DELL or any other "big named" PC will extend your e-penis a few extra inches...  just build it yourself.

    Wow...lol, that's quite a story. Hmmmmm? I wanted to overkill on everything which is why I selected the top for it

    all. My budget is,(for those who might have read a previous post of mine has gone up ALOT!) $15000. So the first

    major company I could think of (Alienware), came to my mind. I thought, "The case looks cool, and I've never

    heard anything go wrong with them." Now though, I don't know what to say. Considering my budget, and I want

    to MAJOR overkill on everything, what is a good place to get my new rig?

    I still can't get myself to believe you are 30 years old and with a budget of $15,000.  Buy yourself a F**king house with that, or a new car.

    Or why not GIVE ME $5,000 while you're pissing it into the wind and I'll smash that Alienware for you and build you another for $3,000 less and you'll STILL have money to burn.

    Youve been given advice but you seem to be ignoring it. I have something else for you to ignore, ALIENWARE!!

    Go to www.newegg.com, select all the stuff you want, get it shiped to your house and put it together. Not only will it be thousands cheaper (for what you claim to be looking for) but this gives you the option to customize every single thing in the system. You need to understand that having lots of money does not mean you need to piss it away. If you choose to go the Alienware route, thats what you will be doing. Youll be paying $1000 for the pc parts, and $1500 for the Alienware box, and little nameplate on the case.

    So I rarely get involved on the boards here; lots of hectic trolling and flaming and what have you, but I want to say something.

    If you have $15,000 to spend on a computer, you've saved way too much. Not enough for something from Silicone Graphics (which you'd use for creating mainframes that will digitally represent the curvature of 3-spheres across a 3-manifold in an attempt to prove/disprove Grigory Perelman) but way too much for a gaming system.

    If you're all about buying a system, and you want the best parts, best look, don't care about cost, then don't get an Alienware. They're ugly and not that amazing for what you pay. Double their price and go with the best water-cooled system from Voodoo (http://www.voodoopc.com/omen.aspx) because their cases look ten times better and are custom sound proofed. Both companies will steal your hard earned cash, but at least you'll be a more unique wastrel with a Voodoo. And they make great computers, of course.

    Get the premium warranty too that offers the ship-back for upgrading. If you're buying a PC I assume you can't install everything on your own. Even if you could, I wouldn't suggest tampering with a water-cooled PC that you didn't put together.

    But yeah, buy a house and a good car first. Then flippantly spend your hard-earned (or inherited, I don't know) cash on crazy shit like this.

    lol, wait another month and the conroe<Montecello> DCII 3.4s hit the market.. Overclocking at 4.2 with no heat build up..  If you can afford it, get it. Im good for at least another year with my current system , it cost me only around 700 dollars..

    @!!

  • BonzarBonzar Member Posts: 176
    You guys aren't voting yes . . .

    The guy has all this money to spend and no one wants him to get a Voodoo? Come on, we all want one. I am kicking a 3200+ AMD XP in a generic brand, biege case with just over a gig of RAM and a crap ATI card that overheats every other day. Someone has to own a badass PC here!

    I take that back, now we're all going to be posting about our SLI-based dual core systems with 4 gigs of ram and 4 hard-drives spinning at 32,000 RPM with 138 Gigs of space a piece in a RAID-0 config with hydraulics, a neon light kit, coffee maker and to-die-for girlfriend that all cost extra but were "well worth the cost".

    And that'd be trolling, kids. So everyone just tell MESMER that you think he's wasting money and he should get a freakin' 386X or something safe like that.

  • xpowderxxpowderx Member UncommonPosts: 2,078

    I look at it this way.. the kid can spend money on a top of the line computer. Only to learn his lesson after 2 years that he needs to upgrade again. Personally i go medium on my computer. upgrades come quicker than the computers longevity itself! My very first computer cost me 3500 dollars and at the time was a 386 with a math co-processor<Elite for the time> less than 18 months later intel brought out the first gen 486 with pentiums! Talk about a waste of money.

    M.E>S>M>E>R will learn that lesson as well.

    In fairness to myself, I normally do build my own. And I did try cancelling before the original system even left their plant. Alienware just refused to cancel the order, despite telling me they would. But it's the last time I'll waste my money that way. If only I could have built the pc on what I gave away to that trashy place. It was one of the worst experiences ever.

    Speaking of bad experiences with companies. I just wasted $100 on a cellphone, miniSD card for it and a SD reader for my pc to transfer music to it and pics from it, all that stuff. Anyways, the day after I got the phone I called Verizon and canceled the service, contacted Amazon and im sending the phone and all the accessories back for a full refund. The phone wouldnt keep a signal due to Verizons shitty coverage, the phone would turn off and on whenever it pleased, and the activation/programming was a hassle, not to mention the phone wasnt fucking up until AFTER it was programmed.

    Verizon can charge me the $175 early termination fee if they want, even though the lady at customer support told me I didnt use a single minute, I didnt even have the service for 24 hours, but they wont get it all at once, ill sent them 5% a month.

     Yes it's a good system.  

    It's better be hated for who you are, than loved for who you aren't.

    Lyon understands the importance of excessive spending in today's plutocratic America! That's pretty crazy though, $14.5k? I didn't realize their systems actually got that high.

    Well, you have to admit, you're getting quite a bit. That's without the tattoo also . . . meh.

    You'll have to get us pics if you buy one, MESMER. If you could afford a camera, that is. Or internet . . .

    In fairness to myself, I normally do build my own. And I did try cancelling before the original system even left their plant. Alienware just refused to cancel the order, despite telling me they would. But it's the last time I'll waste my money that way. If only I could have built the pc on what I gave away to that trashy place. It was one of the worst experiences ever.
    Speaking of bad experiences with companies. I just wasted $100 on a cellphone, miniSD card for it and a SD reader for my pc to transfer music to it and pics from it, all that stuff. Anyways, the day after I got the phone I called Verizon and canceled the service, contacted Amazon and im sending the phone and all the accessories back for a full refund. The phone wouldnt keep a signal due to Verizons shitty coverage, the phone would turn off and on whenever it pleased, and the activation/programming was a hassle, not to mention the phone wasnt fucking up until AFTER it was programmed. Verizon can charge me the $175 early termination fee if they want, even though the lady at customer support told me I didnt use a single minute, I didnt even have the service for 24 hours, but they wont get it all at once, ill sent them 5% a month.

    My guess is, it was the phone and not verizon.

    Im not a cell-phone-company fanboi...I go with whomever gives me the best deal with the most convenience.

    Having said that, I have had excellent service with verizon. I even get calls on the top of Snowbasin, Utah from family and friends....nothing beats "Whatcha doin?" "Oh, strapping a snowboard to me feet ready to tear the shit outta 3000 vertical feet!, what are you doing?"
