    alienware is overpriced. and i dont know to much about dell XPS system but i imagine its overpriced too

    i would most def recommend building your own which u may not wanna do cause its to much work. but let me tell you it isnt

    if your not into the whole d.i.y thing u could check out some sits like

    www.velocitymicro.com
    www.tigerdirect.com
    www.ibuypower.com
    www.overdrivepc.com

    look at Cnet.com too for good reviews about custom pcs that are cheap and powerful

    or just get a good spec pc and add things that you want I mean ive got a fujitsu siemens for £800 and then for £58 im adding a 1gb stick of RAM to boost it to 1536mb RAM and I also have a 3.20GHz Intel Pentium 4 HT Processor so this is quite fast

    all i know is that dell makes really ----ty desktops. you'd surprised by the number of people here looking to upgrade their dells and how sad they were when they found out they needed a new motherboard.
