I made an Alienware exactly like this computer and it cost about $10,000 (WHY ARE ALIENWARES SO EXPENSIVE?) and this one in www.cyberpowerpc.com costs $5,000 which is half. I need it %100 for now and future projects please help (YES I NEED THIS MUCH POWER). This is the case but I'm getting it in black http://www.nzxt.com/products/nemesis_elite/

About a year after you buy it, it won't be worth that much. As soon as the ATI R600 comes out, the GTX will drop as well. Is it worth the price? That's your call. For me, it's not. The 8800 GTX is a Direct X 10 card, not any Direct X 10 games out for it. I would just get a Raptor to load games and a 500 GB secondary drive. I've also heard that Vista's drivers are still in their infancy.

It seems like a very nice system. (Ok, so that's an understatement.)
The only thing that I'd change is the hard drives. I'd move them from RAID 0 to RAID 5. The performance is almost the same as raid 0, except the hard drives will have some redundancy so that you won't loose all of your information in case 1 hard drive fails.
Check out:

The reason that Alienware cost so much is because of the tuning they do to your system, and because of the customer support. Personally, I think they're overpriced.
PS. Don't listen to the person who said sata is better then raid, because that's nonsense. Raid and sata are different technologies and are not mutually exclusive. Sata cannot be better then raid anymore then red can be better then car.

Rip off...Alienwares are ridiculously over priced. Build it yourself.
