[QUOTE="Aazenius, post: 946140, member: 2607"] I purchased an Alienware Area51 (custom) last tuesday. The GeForce FX 5900 Ultra broke the camels back. Dell doesn't even have that card yet. I went with Alieneware, because I have been a Dell man for the past 6 years (i'm typing this on a Dell), and I wanted to see if all that Alienware hype is true. I was really hoping more people who owned Alienware computers would come here and share their experience. Before I chose Alienware I did a ton of research. Alienware gave me what I wanted for a price I was willing to pay. However, I also stumbled across a few horror stories about Alienware pc's so it made me very cautious about buying a pc from them. However, like I said... the new GeForce FX card took me off the fence. That and the fact that I have Planetside sitting in a box waiting to be used. This PC can't handle it. If any of you have bought an Alienware PC in the last year or so please share your experience, good or bad. So far, my expereince has been rocky. I bought the PC on tuesday. However I noticed that it was still in stage 1 on Friday. So I called their customer service, who told me that my debit card had denied their attempt to charge my card. Apparently they had the wrong info. So I corrected it, and they tried again, this time with success. However when I called my bank, I discovered my card was charged twice. Uh... so I called them back and told them of the mistake. It took an hour of talking to various people, and a 3-way call to my bank to get the whole thing fixed. I am told i'll have my pc in 4 weeks... (ouch!) But, these PC's are custom made... I hope it is everything I dream it will be. I am going nuts looking at this Planetside box... and not being able to enjoy it. Please share your Alienware experiences here... I'd appreciate them! Might even help others thinking about buying one! [/QUOTE]
