Thread Starter 
so far after a few days of getting my AW, i keep thinking; "Was this worth it". idk what to do with this. i played HL2, Medal of Honor Pacific Assault, and Doom 3. i also did some slight video editing. idk what else to do... i usually never ask this question, but i'm clueless because i still can't believe i got me an alienware. so, back to the first question. what do u guys do with ur AW?

I opened it, took lot's of pictures, admired the wiring of the internal components, admired the excellent components, admired the beauty of the case, the neat glowing eyes etc. and then I had send it back haha...I guess the only real AW component i'm using is I guess the membership card or the official AW forums =P

btw have you tried OCing your CPU? I noticed your OC's of your GPU in your review, very nice score indeed on 3dmark03. Have you tried 3dmark05?

I use mine to write reports & other things when I'm TDY/deployed. It's basically my desktop when I'm not home. Also helps out on those boring plane rides, and long layovers in the airport.

I do heavy photo editing, web development, heavy gaming, watch DVDs on my 2nd monitor while I'm doing something else on the other, listen to TONS of music, chat, stream....pretty much everything you can imagine

I love my AW, and wouldn't have had it any other way

I've noticed, most dont game on theirs. It's kinda funny, because it's "Built by gamers, for gamers" but not to many on here game with them...

My wife uses it for email and on-line banking. It's so fast she can transfer money from Bank of America into my account and BOA doesn't even know it!

I actually do a lot of gaming, photo work (scanning, croping etc.), also large financial spreadsheets (my lifetime in excel). Mostly I'm alway trying to keep it running perfectly which is an endless obsession.

I'm putting together a new home for the Area 51 so my wife can email etc. on the server instead. The P4 and the Ultra put out so much heat I'd like to shut it down when I'm not using it.

Well

1.Photo-editing
2. DVD watching
3. Email and correspondence
4. Loggin to USA Main HQ and do some heavy-duty SAP R/3 etc (wife)
5. Play Yahoo/Flash games (wife)

All that consumes about 10 -15% of system time. BUT AFTER THAT.....

Busy completing
Doom3
Half-Life2 (completed by son, not by dad)
CS:S - still learning
Far Cry (completed by son)
Grand Prix Legends
GTR (new)
Painkiller - BOFH
Driv3r
Need for Speed Underground2 ( completed but still playing)
The Sims2 (wife and son)
Deus Ex 1 & 2 (son)

and my all-time favourite while waitng for cd/dvd burns to complete, newsgroup headers to download and just plain time-killing....

SOLITAIRE!

I use my AW for a few games, internet, and class work. Plus, it does dress up my desk quite a bit.
