[Prometheus]

Its Liquid cooled............... ;)

[LedZap]

Nice . I'm jealous...it sure would be better than my 233 mhz IBM.

[yee-haw]

Its Liquid cooled............... ;)

State of the art shit huh?

...Pretty cool.

[Prometheus]

Then again, I could get a PS3 and a ass load of games for the same price.

Or you could send me a check...then you wouldn't have to worry about deciding.

[Carrot]

Ailienware Area 51 (http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/desktops/alienware-area-51/pd.aspx?refid=alienware-area-51&s=dhs&cs=19&~ck=mn)

Over priced toy for kids. Only a sucker would even consider purchasing one. The price for the trendy pile of crap is inflated by at least $1000. Only an idiot would buy it.

Oh, and what would you recommend then Mr Expert !?

[LedZap]

Actually...if you're into gaming , which I think Prome is , that's a perfect choice.

Not only am I a "insane gamer" but I also edit video as a hobby.

Well then, may I suggest running a Classified 4-WAY SLI board on a bench, with a liquid-nitrogen cooled overclocked Core i7 965 running at over 4 GHz.
