Alienware

If you want a really fast gaming computer and have the money, building one yourself would be a much better route IMO.

You are balling.

Think about it, while in the military you have almost no expenses. You are given a place to stay on base, if you have a family or are married you are given money to stay off base. If you eat on base it is dirt cheap, like $2.00 will buy you a full breakfast worth 10-15 at a civilian establishment. The only real expenses you have are your car (if you have one), the gas and insurance for said car (with USAA that is also really cheap), and a cell phone bill. The military isn't that bad of a deal when not deployed, especially if you are career military and are stationed or posted to a state side command.

Very true. So maybe he should change his to "Anyone in the service is balling!" lol

Dell makes a computer they KNOW WILL BREAK and charges you extra for a warranty plan. Its not worth it. Just look up a tutorial how to build you own and how to install custom lighting to your case and you have the same thing for hundreds or maybe thousands cheaper.

Just because you make a lot of money doesn't mean you're supposed to shop stupid.

If you want a good computer try building your own or try maingear.

Alienware isnt worth the money,you can build your own comp that would blow any others away for 800-1400 bucks. I built mine for $1000 and Its stats blow other comps that are alrdy built away for the price.

I have an alienware desktop that is a nice, pretty paper weight! I had it less than 2 months and the cheapness of the reservoir cracked and fried it. The idea of water + electronics is retarded (yes that means im retarded for buying it lol) As far as their laptops, they are really dependable.

As said many times Alienware is horrid. It's owned by Dell. Dell puts broken products out in the public knowing that you'll have to pay to send it in and get it fixed. When they bought Alienware they started doing the EXACT same thing.

If water cooling was that big of a hassle and didn't have any benefits other than looking cool, people wouldn't do it. As long as you have the right circumstances, water cooling is needed. I.e. pushing your i7 2600k up to 5GHz and running 3 GTX 580's. Not a Phenom II 965 pushing 3.7GHz and a AMD 6950.

Their laptops are decent. I still would go for a different brand. Just simply because it's affiliated with Dell's horrible reputation of being as useful as a pile of bricks. Plenty of other reputable brands out there. Asus, Acer, Geekbox, and Digital Storm.
