Now I was also thinking about the star wars desktop, is there a real difference?

I think I'm addicted to AW....

yeah its a tad bit expensive,....but it looks like an awesome system..>I've been re-pricing one fore months...I had meant to actually build a new system, but after my great experience of buying the 7700, I had to give AW one more chance...

lol ok.

lol, I guess you could say I did that... I decided to just keep the media center version of XP. I've always wanted to give it a whirl, and being able to hook it up to my cable I think its a plus, Now I will be able to record episodes of Cinematech...heh

I know I will definetly ned to get more ram though...I am think2 more gigs....not sure.. Anyone know if this is ddr2 or is it still ddr..?

Bad for the PC??? wat are you talking about? LOL have you been smoking the crack?

are you trying to say that I'm full of shit?

What do you want me to do, to prove it. If you actually seen my place in person, then you would know that I could afford one..

errr....riight...well whatever...Just wanted to get some feed back on it. Hopefully I'll get it by next month...There were a lot of things that said "may delay your order" so who knows..The Customer Rep stated an estimated delivery date of October 3rd. Somehow I don't think thats correct. With the 7700 I received it 2 weeks past my Estimated Delivery date, so who knows.


And sacremento, For someone who has a name that states ALX within it, and states that I shouldn't have bought all that "crap" is kinda of making fun of himself as well.

Just because I went top of the line everything doesn't it make it crap man. This is ghey.

yeah 11k is a bit much, I suppose I could just build it, but then I wouldn't have the beautiful alien eyes...and the cable management...and the Alien eyes...its not only about the asthetics...I just been enjoying some of the stuff I've been reading on here. And the more times I end up jumping onto AW's website and pricing the ALX, the more I want one. I had originally wanted the Star wars system, amd that would have been awesome, but later I realized, even tho I love star wars, I still wanted something with incredible speed and incredible graphics. I tend to follow the tech crowd, Even though I do have a 7700, the ALX would complement the Alien motife as well as complement my other systems really well, It would be the only system I have that has an Nvidia card in it. And be that its a 7800, well that makes it even better.
