Wow I like this computer!

http://www.alienware.com/products/area-51-alx-desktop.aspx?SysCode=PC-AREA51-ALX-R8&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT

Hook that SOB up to a 52in HD tv, and a kick ass sound system. I'll be able to hear each drop blood splatter when I kill someone online!

"Optional Ageia PhysX Physics Processing Unit Connectivity"
I don't even know what that means, just that it sounds kick ass and I want it! I bet I could guide a cruise missle with it!

Do you like the looks or performance? You can build your own for about a third of the price. Plus, they are owned by Dell now who has pretty sucky support.

The day my XPS shorted out was probably one of the best things that happened to me. I was 17, and it forced me to go out and find other things to do... like fool around with the SL, go to social events, etc.

Also made me more interested in pursuing "real" women, since I no longer had the easy "release" of the internet.

I don't know anything about computers. I don't even know what half the stuff they are talking about is, or does...

But it looks cool! And all that neat stuff must be able to do something cool, like guide an ICBM, or cure cancer, or fix an LS460.

Yeah quite a bit too. Check newegg for the prices on those components to find out how much your being overcharged for a fancy case. If you want blue light to come from the inside of your computer I have a couple laying around somewhere.

And now, time for some pointless but awesome game sprays

Yeah its a shame that they don't make them anymore. I'd still be playing ATF if I could just get it to work on my new machine. I let someone borrow Fleet Command and I haven't seen it in years....

Doubt it, I only played Delta Force 2. If you played that, probably though.

If you played Counter-strike, TF2 or the old TFC then you'd defiantly know if you played me.....

Alright, my head isn't working right today and I can't remember which country that pattern comes from (Scandinavia or one of the low countries?)


I have a full set of British DPM. I was trying to find Portuguese Lizard pattern but its unbelievably hard to find.
