I had planned on getting one of [url=http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-x51/pd.aspx]these^[/url] when I start my classes, however I'm starting to have my doubts in regards to this pc, especially considering that three people on here have recommended that I don't get a Alienchode. I hear a lot of different things about Alienchodes, both positive and negative but mainly the latter. The number one thing that I hear is that they're over priced and over rated.
So does anyone have any recommendations for a better pc? Preferably one that is a similar size to the one I posted. Also, if you're a Alienchode owner or have had one in the past, can you share the experiences you had with it? Like what were some problems you have/had with it? What did you have to replace and when did you have to replace it? Stuff like that.
Edit: Pretty much all of you guys are saying to build one myself, so I guess that's what I'm going to do. Better start looking at parts and what not... Thanks for the suggestions.

Alienware, Dell, whoever...they don't make the actual CPUs, memory, video cards, harddrives, motherboards, etc. All they do is pull parts off a shelf and assemble PCs in a fancy case. You can buy all those parts yourself. Seriously, it isn't hard at all to build a PC and is a great learning experience. Do it yourself.
