    It is better to build your own. In most cases you can find the same parts in an Alienware for a cheaper price to build for yourself. But if you don't have newegg at your advantage then who knows. I wouldn't suggest the Western Digital drives - good but not good enough. Go with Seagate.

    Yea, as long as you don't mind paying extra go with alienware. I'm sure you coulod buy EXACTLY the same parts on an alienware comp & it'd be cheaper.Also, alienware as said above is pretty much just a fancy case. I've seen way cooler but not on a NON custom store bought computer.

    Very true... the Seagate Baracuda (sp?) is good very, very quiet. Probably the market leader...

    i assume by cpu you mean computer, not cpu?
    1gb never goes a miss.
