well after a depressing week of ups and downs i've finally settled on a pc. i went from thinking i was going to be able to build my 2k dream rig, to hoping to build a 1k rig, to "settling" for an alienware.

my credit limit was 2500 bucks so i was feeling somewhat cramped at first. i was looking at the aurora 5500 but then realized that it's based on an agp mobo. no go. then i started looking at their "premium" system, the aurora 7500.......my main concern was to get a 7800 of some sort and a 19" lcd to enjoy it on.

after messing around in the configuration pages i finally did it. woot! here is the system i will order tomorrow:

nforce4 sli based mobo
amd64 3800+
2x512 3200 ram
7800gt :D
19" 12ms Samsung LCD :p
80gb hd :(
cyborg green to boot!

after browsing their site, reading and watching all of the propaganda i'm actually feeling "sold". i mean, i know i'm basically paying 1000 dollars for a gay ass case and 3 mo. of tech support but hey, sometimes the poor man has to do what the poor man has to do. now i just hope this thing lasts me the 4 years it will take me to pay it off at 75.00 a mo.

oh and the total, including shipping came to 2520.00. my loser ass has to front 20 bones. LOL
 
I don't know why being on such a tight budget (or at least it seems so..) you're going with an overpriced prebuild... oh well.. it's your money..
 
Yes...if you were on a tight budget and were willing, you should have just built it yourself for less (and you get to pick your own case instead of the abortion Alienware shoves on you) and save yourself some dough (or put them towards even more expensive parts).

Oh well, your money, your choice right?
 
I think it had to do with the ability to finance it.

exactly....i got approved for alienware financing a few months back. i didn't even entertain the idea of building my own until joining this community. i tried to get approved for bill me later at newegg but i got rejected. :mad:

it's either get an alienware or save money for like 6 months....i'm a very impatient soul....much to my demise. if it was up to me i'd WAY rather build. i was really looking forward to having a room full of tech. oh well maybe next time.
