Uh,..so they ain't going to be shipping these things for another month or 2?

T0J0, what vid card was in it, cause there is no way it had a GF FX in it.

I was talking Alienware in general, wasn't really paying attention
to the model... Was couple of months old... Sorry MY bad!

Not sure about that one, But IIRC Chieftec makes the cases alienware uses.

Pretty except for colours.

Of course I always put my puter together myself. And my tower is sort of stripped to the bone - not very pretty, but extremely functional.

I rate functionality over looks at almost all times.

What would you rather have - a bikini model girlfriend that only wants to have sex in the dark, in the missionary position and who keeps talking about what chores you have to do afterwards, or an ordinary women who's a true fiend in bed, more kinky than yourself?

My choice is easy

.

Functionality over looks.

Build em yourself. It's not that hard. I started with this alluminum case http://directron.com/mg.html

turbo-cool 450 watt ps
512mb corsair ddram w/heat spreader
AMD XP 1900
Geforce4 4600ti 128mb ddram
Abit kr7a raid mobo

You can spend under a $1000.00 and build a brilliant system.
I have built another with a Koolance water cooled case.

The water cooled. I installed the window kit. Is there anything a Dremel can't do?

The Area 51 has
P4 HT 3.06 Ghz
512 mb RDRAM
ATI RADEON 9700 128mb
and other such lovly features

BTW water with electronics dont mix at all never get me doing that its asking for trouble:)

Yep, and I think the point about this case maybe that it's not a generic that is for sale except thru Alienware.

I think they had it designed and delivered to them only.

I searched when this thread was put up and couldn't find the new one anywhere.

Who needs an alienware case? This case is alluminum, 6 case fans(the two intake fans in the front have a dust filter), top exaust fan(where heat rises), and a slide out mobo tray. All for a hundred bucks, take a look http://directron.com/mg.html

BTW, I purchased one a year ago for $150.00. Down too a hundred is a bargain IMO. I'm thinkin of getting another b4 they disc the model.

everyone knows REAL aliens are Grey

heh, who cares what they put inside the case. you can get all of that stuff through other online stores (OEM or retail box, your pick) and save mega $$$ over alienware. I just like the spiffy case.

and they have green, red, black, blue, and grey for colors, IIRC.
