I Hate Dell!
Flyou...if you were my step daughter, I would smack you straight in your man pleaser and tell you to give me my money back. That is jus how I roll homey. [8D] At least you got alienware...those look cool. I hope my Blackberry beats up her whatchumacallit. Here is what Dell gives you for $1100:

The truth is Dell hates you... They just want u to buy their product. after they have ur money they careless about you and ur issues.. Go in with guns a blasin, Whats a few years in jail to prove you mean business??!
dell used to have the best customer service in the industry. for real, i remember giving a 15 minutepresentation on dell to my business 301 class on why they were so sucessful. Cust. Serv was like #1. Sounds like they have really let themselves go in the past 4 years.

What did you pay if you do not mind me asking ...?

I got my current computer from a shop, & they have set themselves up in a cheap shop rental to compete with the computer markets (except their open 7 days a week). Same stuff, same prices. Got a sh*t hot one for a fraction of the price the last 2 set me back. They will even replace parts & do upgrades for free, just for the fact your buying the gear from them.

I think for general use it is just a waste to go spending more these days...
nice buy mate
My very first Windows op System P/c cost me $1900 AUD back in 1995
it was only a 266 mghz too!
Once a company gets so big they dont have to give a rats *** about customers. They'll keep buying from them and if something does happen the gov will bail them out with the invisible money stash we have hiding under a HUGE invisible mattress.
The cpu is usually the only non-generic pc hardware in their systems.

dell customer service is below ****...I called it once and I will never call it again. I have had dell's there not bad, but I would not ever pay $1k for one....you can build a comp alot cheaper than you think and have alot better system.
I wish i could afford those $500 vid cards...but I would cry a year later when they are selling for $100 and the next big bad vid card is out.....I have some top of the line vid cards and they are amazing....but I dont think I could ever dish out that much dough for one.

One of the automated choices should be press 7 for your choice of language. After that it could break down into press 1 for American speaking fluent english, press 2 for broken English from Indian person, or press 3 for sign language.
