First of i would like saying that alien ware computers are way over priced. They may look cool but do you really need all those lights on them. What you really need to be concerned about is how much ram, memory, and what type of graphics card you have. I have looked at alienwares website and the cheapest computer you can get is the Aurora and that is $800! If you look at a site say... best buy you could get a gaming laptop (ASUS G50VT-X5) for $900 and it has a Intel Centrino 2 Proccesor which is very fast for a $900 dollar laptop. Also the asus has 4 GBs of ram. You would have to pay alot more money like say 150 dollars more on alien ware.com. Alien ware is trying to rip you off so dont get one.......
