Alienware Aurora 5500, or Dell XPS 400? Tad pricey, but they both seem really great. I'm not much of a gamer, but game focused computers are powerful in general. Any advice?

Listen, just buy any pc which has:
64 bit processor,
512 MB RAM or ++ [AMD is better than Intel]
80 GB or ++
Combo Drive [Optical Drive]
A Multimedia Keyboard & Optical Mouse [Wireless is preferable, but requires batteries]
A graphics card [NVidia GeForce is preferable with dedicated 256 MB or ++ for graphics!]
Good speakers and other accesories are your options.
Regards,

p.s. - I also suggest you buy a 1GB pen drive which nowadays cost around $25 [Rs. 1100]

I would say find a person that builds computers, a friend, not the store, buy parts and have them put it together for you, you will end up with a fast *** machine that has the power to be even a server if you wanted to, for half the cost, plus the best, you pick what you want inside of the computer. It is so easy to put together a computer, just ask some people you know that are into computers.
If you don't know anyone go with Alienware, they build there computers to provide the best gaming, Dell does not build computers just for gamers, just the end user with basic componets in them. Maybee you might get some good memory or some other part from a Dell computer, but you won't get a system like if you built it from scratch or even a Alienware.
Think of Alienware like if you were going to have a friend build you a gamer pc, but pay more. They put good parts in them for your gaming.
Hope this info helps you!!

If your not gaming, both PCs are not what you need. However, if you are like me and buy what I WANT rather than NEED, then get the XPS. Dell replacement parts are easier to get, plus the XPS usually comes with a longer 3 year waranty.

Go with Alienware (out of those choices), I haven't been hearing good things about Dell.

hello there - I have no idea what kind of computer you should get but I saw that you responded to a question about schizophrenia. My dad suffers from it as well - he just beat the s h i t out of my mom- literally. I just want to talk because it's hard to find those who could really understand where I am coming from. It would be great to hear from you.

Wait for Core 2 Duo. Its cheaper and faster. Look at this review in PC Mag http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1987355,00.asp
