I made an Alienware exactly like this computer and it cost about $10,000 (why are Alienwares so expensive) and this one in www.ibuypower.com costs $4,900 which is half. I need it %100 for now and future projects please help. This is the case but I'm getting it in black http://www.nzxt.com/Download/guardian1280.jpg

Ok, if I remember right, before I made my own PC's, I remember this site as being absolutely worthless. ibuypower.com uses Value brand materials to make your PC a lot. And their return/exchange policy is crap. I have know 4 people who received products which broke within a week.
Basically ibuypower.com has lower coverage and cheaper parts. Like the graphics card is GeForce but it may be some random company isntead of PNY or VGA

That setup will last you many years to come, but may i suggest you buy the parts seperatly at either newegg.com or some comparable company, build it youself and save at LEAST 500$. If you dont know how to put it all together you can bring it to a small mom and pop shop and they could do it for 100$ or so. Just take that into consideration

You didn't mention the price to compare its worth with. But, I will continue to build my own. Similar outputs and results can be achieved without the added price of the 'brand' name. Does a $600 sound 6 times better than a $100 one? Its your money.

well alienware jacks the price up because its a namebrand system.conversely though,its gauranteed to perform as advertised,or they will fix it. if you are able to build a system yourself why not simply spec out a system thru newegg,or tiger direct as was mentioned.also you dont need lights for a gaming rig,and ive found them to be an annoyance when gaming in a dark room.just omitting the lights will save ya some cash,and prolly save a few headaches.
