Mandalore Warrior stellarmagic Mandalore Warrior It's definitely worth it. And that's called value. The only way you'd have an extra 3 grand is if you customize it with NY Yankee steroids. You can buy a really good one with good gaming capabilities for 1 grand. The extra "3k" is most likely your optional things. I looked into one before, customized a laptop and it came out to 5. But I got the best components, plus a whole deal of customization. Or take that 3k, buy the parts and assemble it yourself. If you gave me the amount of money it takes to buy an alienware, I'd show up with a machine that could blow it out of the water. I bet my 1k machine could beat that alienware senseless... Plus all Dell, Alienware, HP, and Gateway do is assemble the parts, if you know what to buy... go to Newegg and cut out the middle man. I'm sure you could. But I don't think anyone will buy all the parts and put their own computer together. The reason they add price, over what THEY pay for a single computer is called value. All together, those things in raw material isn't as much as it would cost if you bought it off the shelf. Make a toy car with 2 dollars worth of wood, sell it for 5.
Ahem... Every dedicated PC gamer I know worth his shirt has either...
A. Bought, built, and assembled a PC on his own. B. Payed another gamer to do A.
For example, the computer I'm currently using I assembled a year ago, total cost $ 1,049 Dollars. 400 of which was the Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit operating system. I don't know what alienware was charging for a system with the same specs as mine, but dell was charging 2k.
The only gamer I know personally who hasn't done either of these things is Cale, and thats mostly because he's not a dedicated PC gamer. He has computer games, console games, and paper and pen RPGs. Plenty of other stuff to keep him busy.
