Hello. I am wondering if you guys and gals think that this is a good deal. The system is new supposedly and still sealed.

AMD Athlon™ 64 3200+ with HyperTransport Technology
Genuine Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional with Service Pack 2
2-Year AlienCare Toll-Free 24/7 Phone Support w/ Onsite Service
17" WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 LCD Clearview Display with Built-in Camera
2GB Dual Channel DDR SO-DIMM at 400MHz
256MB NVidia® GeForce™ Go 7800 GTX (the ultimate gaming machine!)
120GB 5400 RPM SATA (Hard Drive)
8X Dual Layer DVD+/-RW / 24X CD-RW Combo w/Software
8X Dual Layer DVD+/-RW / 24X CD-RW Combo w/Software (secondary)
Creative Sound Blaster® Audigy® 2 ZS PCMCIA (Sound Card)
Alienware® m7700 12-cell Lithium-Ion Additional Battery
External Wireless 802.11a/b/g PCMCIA Card
Norton™ Internet Security ™ 2006
Microsoft® Office 2003 Basic
Alienware® Respawn Recovery Kit
Bonus!
GameFly - Unlimited Game Rentals for 15 days - FREE TRIAL
Gamespot Total Access - Free 90-day Trial (a $17.85 value)

Total would be $2200.00 US

I of course would swap out the cpu for an amd x2

i would think so. I mean it shouldn't be any harder than with the dell's or sager's I would think. Lots of people have done that. I am just iffy on this deal, because it is in Canada, and I might get charged a lot of customs or duties etc.
Just not sure......
Also nervous cause my luck Ill get it and have to depot it T_T;
and my sager might get jealous and attack me !

If you price a laptop with those specs on the AW site you will find the answer to your question is an emphatic yes.

Yeah, forget it. I am not gonna risk it. More than likely is just a big scam.
BTW, it is on ebay if you want to look. I only really considered it because they have 100% feedback of over 50. Still just seems odd. They claim that they have a relative that works for aw, but even still most companies only allow you a few systems as an employee.

ebay is a tad scary. the old buyer beware .... in spades. ebay is good for a lot of things .. but there is a greater than zero probability that it is a rip-off .... i know apple and other high end electronics are used as scamming techniques quite a bit ..... just be very careful and if it looks too good to be true than it probably is .....
