Alienware = "The part of the human trunk between the bottom of the rib cage and the pelvis" of good money?

:)

I agree with Lithium though, you can build a great computer for a fraction of what Alienware charges.

The only thing that makes it expensive is the tag ... and that it is rather convienient for a.) impatient people or b.) People who arent computer savvy

You name a person who can play all of those games and not be computer savvy. Then I'll kill him, and my agurement of you can't play those games and not be savvy will work.
