building a computer IS NOT HARD.
I used to think it was like impossible, but once you get the basic parts and the tower....then it's all a matter of plugging in the cords to their proper fittings inside the case.
If you are going to build a computer you should atleast know what you are doing. Dont just readup on it and attempt it. However, it is very simple, and about 300- 500 dollars cheaper than buying one. Again this is somthing that is simple,but complex in the understanfing of what parts are compliable with each other. It isnt the easiest thing finding the parts you need eigther, or atleast at reasonable prices.
As for alienware, my friend has one. Put it this way it is 4,000 dollars for somthing you can get the same abilities for in a standard 1,000 dollar IBM. Yeah the memory and Ram allows you to have anywhere from 6 to 7 games installed on your PC and still get top quality performance. However if you are not a gamer, there is no point in overpaying for somthing you are not going to use. If you are a gamer, but not a career devoted gamer you are just over paying for things you are not going to use. Instead of investing in an alienware, just make sure the Pc has atleast 3 Ghz, 350 mb and you can play any top of the line game with storage and ram to spare. This will cost you atleast 2,000 dollars less.

I built a comp at Falcon Northwest.com and Voodoo PC and the Alienware is cheaper. I guess building one yourself is the cheapest way but you dont get onsite tech support or any of that jazz.
There different alienware comps you can get. some can be as cheap as 2,000 but the top of the line ones are upwards to five grand. I personally would wait untill the new pentium technology comes out before i would invest in a bank statement that is more than is in my bank. Asia has achieved some mind boggeling breakthroughs in Pc software. some of which that the U.s is now just getting wind of.

No they are leadning in computer technoligy. they recently develpoed the fastest computer technology. I mean them japs and slant eyes are smart cats, this was bound to happen. If we dont be carefull they are done gonna sneak up on us and make us all eat rice. Naw im shittin around, no kidding though, Japan is going to be the next power country of the world. Atleast in technology and economy. Maybe one day they will be allowed to have another army. we all know the only reason America is as strong as it is, is because of our military, it sure as shit isnt because of hard workin americans.

Japanese econonmy has been bad for a while now.. and those earthquakes arent helping to patch things up. where are you getting this information from? lol
what the hell are you talking about? I guess your not very worldly ay? Granted Japan has been having problems with their economy recently, but there GNP is second only to the US.Japan is going through rigged revitalization plans on their economy.their communication,construction,and distribution industries have been sky rocketing since 2001. they have a fast growing economy that always stays consistant. Yes and China has succeeded in gaining the fastest and most advanced computer technology. not that any of this matters,but your last remark made Japan off to be some weak Economy.

Yes,but i meant the whining, bit*ching, self righteous, holier than though lazy ass citezens. I tried to show that the military is the reason America is as strong as it is. It could be alot more prosperous if some more people had the discipline soldiers have.
