The last one I opened up had room for a 2nd hard drive and that was the sum total of your options. Non standard design for MB, Case, PSU, means you can never re-use these parts for anything. I haven't seen inside other name brands to comment on those, I generally build from stadard parts. |

Go for a full tower you might aswell unless you don't have much space, computerlounge and playtec is what i'd recommend. Both offer good service and they can answer all your questions if you go in person to order. |

| 1233840 | 2011-09-28 07:41:00 | Awesome gear, up to you if it's over the top. There are several places you could save money if you decide it's too much, for example in currrent games the difference between 2500K and 2600K is basically nothing as hyperthreading really doesn't help games and 8GB is plenty of RAM. But the gear you linked is probably good for quite a while if you're going for future proofing. |

| 1233841 | 2011-09-28 07:45:00 | Well I was thinking of losing some specs to get some more pretty lights since that is what appeals to me in terms of Alienware haha. Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll go with that one. |

| 1233843 | 2011-09-28 08:08:00 | NZXT Phantom :drool Nice choice, best looking case made to date imo. TOTALLY! Best looking case I have EVER seen. I'm thinking of getting some awesome lighting in there. White case, blue lights I think... But then black case with red lighting would be awesome too! |

| 1233844 | 2011-09-28 08:23:00 | They sell them overseas with red lights: www.amazon.com Dunno if you'll find one in nz. NZXT do sell "LED Rope" which is available all over the place. www.trademe.co.nz I think there is red as well. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1233845 | 2011-09-28 08:25:00 | Yea, I'm hoping ComputerLounge has the hardware at hand. If not, I might have to buy it and ship it to them or install it myself. That blue lighting looks epic |
