I play video games a lot, so i need some advice. What would be an ideal desktop computer that is specialized for gamers? my old computer doesnt even support direct x 9.0, so i need to buy a new one. Also, how much would a cheap (good quality though) one cost?

People are so funny. Alienware, Dell? Well there are WAAAAY better options. the first being to build your own computer. Dell and Alienware are overpriced. I built a computer for 1000$ thats the same caliber as a 1700$ one from Dell or Alienware. The other option is smaller custom pc shops. DO a google search for Custom Computers. Building a pc is very easy but can be intimidating. What ever you do dont buy a dell of alienware. Good luck. OH AND YOU CANT EVEN FIND AN ALIENWARE FOR LESS THAN 1500$. BOTTOM LINE!

When you get your new computer, keep the old one as a backup.
Install UBUNTU (or XUBUNTU if your computer has less than 256MB of RAM).
It's a free, reliable and up to date operating system.
You can explore it from the "LIVE CD".
It's easy to install and use. You can dual boot it with other operating systems.
Once you have it installed, you gain access to thousands of free programs created by the open source community. There is excellent support - see the WIKI starter guide, and the Linux forums.
Always back up your data before making changes to your computer.

theres no such thing as cheap and good quality with a desktop. if u want a good desktop for gaming at a low price go to to dell.com and find the xps desktops. theres some really good ones and for not bad prices. all xps are made for gaming so they come set with all u need.

Alienwares specify in computer gaming. Dell XPS's are decent gaming computers. You're better off building your own, or you can have it done. You have to buy the parts though, first.

On a Mac, shift/administration/3 takes a image of the exhibit screen. in case you press shift/administration/4, you could click and drag over the section you prefer; the photograph is taken once you launch the mouse button.
