| 641789 | 2008-02-18 22:00:00 | I'm going to get a new computer and I'm wondering if Alienware is a good company to buy from. | jordan (13234) | ||
| 641790 | 2008-02-18 22:11:00 | You could do worse, but I wouldn't buy from them. Go to www.ascent.co.nz and use the PC builder there, or get parts and build your own. |

| 641792 | 2008-02-19 00:11:00 | Expensive and very cool but I'd rather build my own from ascent or just go into any PC Shop and browse around. You know exactly what you're getting! | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 641793 | 2008-02-19 00:32:00 | Lousy bang for the buck and extremely overrated in my opinion. :D CBCNZ make some really good custom pc's and have great service, just choose the parts you want and they'll build it for only $35 extra. |

| 641794 | 2008-02-19 03:11:00 | But their laptops are good. Well, spec wise anyway. | pctek (84) | ||
| 641795 | 2008-02-19 03:12:00 | But their laptops are good. Well, spec wise anyway. Yep, very similar to Dell's XPS series... :lol: :rolleyes: |

| 641796 | 2008-02-19 03:51:00 | Yep, very similar to Dell's XPS series... :lol: :rolleyes: In fact I think they may be exactly the same, barring the paint job. |

| 641797 | 2008-02-19 04:52:00 | In fact I think they may be exactly the same, barring the paint job. and the awesome logos! I love the Alienware and XPS logo's. |
