Alienware?

Is Area-51 or Aurora better?

clear

Why? I hope your not actually planning on buying one..

Why yes, yes I do. :blink:

Area 51

area-51 is p4, and aurora is amd. i prefer intel, so area 51. but alienware sucks compared to self built

The main difference is one has a AMD the other a Intel.

You beat me to it. :blink:

clear

I'll just get 2. :P

Dude you really are stupid, :angry:

Dont waste your money....

Absolutely tops in my book either way you go. But be warned: the owners manuals are written in some strange hieroglyphics so it will be a very expensive paperweight.

Screw you. :lol:

I have a Roswell 3200 version, very nice machines but upgraded mine my self since I didn&#39;t like some of the configurations.

I use mine mostly for watching movies, gameing and running p2p fileshareing.

My setup:
Dual Intel Xeon Processors 3.06GHz
3GB DDR PC-2100
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 256MB
3x320 gb hd maxtor (came crappy wd hd&#39;s 2x120)
Sony 8x dvd+-rw (came with Plextor PX-708A 8x DVD+-R/W)
Turtle Beach 7.1 Sound card (came with soundblaster audigy 2)

Moddified case (I painted over it in UV reflective paint,added a window and more fans, added a side blow hole and one on top of the case)
:alien:

Okay I don&#39;t have the money yet but I&#39;m woking on it okay? :P

&#036;. ok. maybe a bit more. 1800-2200. that&#39;s my guess. shouldn&#39;t be that expensive

get the 3400+ it&#39;s the same speed as fx-51 but cheaper :)

I can probably afford that. I don&#39;t know when i want it though. :blink:
