    Alienware = :P bad....

    you can get much cheaper hardware if you custom build than if you buy from alienware.

    we need a little bit more what you want to do with it...

    PS, Gaming, etc.

    Price limit?

    etc., etc...

    is fry a store?

    You could just ask someone here to post links to where you can buy the stuff if you post a budget and what you want to do for it. Then for building it if you didnt know how u could just google it or look in the instruction manuals.

    if you have an unlimited supply of money then you can buy an alienware. I got one. Either way, do as you please. I like Alienware myself. Err... also, I take it you want a gaming PC?

    Newegg> Fry's electronics

    FRY's is only good if it's on sale otherwise they rip you off.

    if you have say
    200-300$ get a dell special, it's crap but ohh well, don't plan on gaming, dell makes crap gaming computers
    300-600 look into ibuy power or something like that this price range gives you few options as it's smack in the middle of BS
    600-1000 build your own you retard you can get like twice as much bang/$
    1000-3000 see above
    3000-15000 build you're own 12CPU insane server with a nice raid aray and insane GFX, you might have to wait until PCI-X GFX cards though
    15000 and up. just buy alienware or voodoo every 6months, at this point it's obvious money doesn't matter and you can afford to eb ripped off.

    ^^lol...

    anyway, what i'd get is
    AMD Opteron 170 S939
    DFI Lanparty SLI-DR Expert
    2x 512MB OCZ
    1x 7900GTX
    1x 150GIG WD Raptor

    or if on lower budget,

    AMD Opteron 144
    DFI Lanparty Ultra-D
    2x512MB OCZ
    1x 7600GT
    1x 250GB Western Digital

    if u have a very big budget you can afford gettinng ripped of by buying an intel cpu

    ^There is no way he would need an SLI-DR Expert, he would do fine with just a ultra-d which imo is the best on the market.
