Alienware seems to cut off prices from time to time, mostly when a new processor is about to come (duh...). I'd like to have one, because they tweak and boost their pc, and have a great warrenty and service. Ibuypower (yes, that's a company) also makes great pc's at great prices, but quality again isnt as high as Alienware.
Anyone here has a Voodoo Pc machine? Lucky **** if yes.

In fact I'm just going to host a giant lan party and charge people 20 bucks to install and play HL2.
It'd be a good idea to buy the computer AFTER the requirement specs are given. It'd kinda suck to have a computer which doesn't run HL2, because you guessed at the requirement specs beforehand.
Half-life2 is supposed to be even longer than Half-life! The story picks off from where half-life left off with Gordan Freeman part of the "G-man" organization. He doesn't know much about the organization (just like you), and he is given an assignment and supposedly figures out more about what the organization does as he goes along.
Sounds like a very half-life-ish plot. That's the best way to make a game. Make a movie plot, and build the game around it.
Buy one and keep it in the plastic wrap. Put it in a time capsul and reopen it 50 years later. Then, you can sell it back to the public for practically nothing, 'cause it'd be a piece of **** by then.
I've already got my copy preordered at EB. (Before you share your horror stories with me and tell me to cancel, the EB here is VERY VERY good. I'm friends with the manager, and everybody there is very intelligent and dedicated. It's awesome.)
With NS right now on the MAX resolution (something like 1600x1400) I get 20-30fps in extreeme action. And thats a GForce 2.
So I'm upgrading to a newer card in September possible a G Force 4 or some ATi card. I'm gonna grab some RAM during the summer. So it should run 'well' on my system.
Oh EB isnt in the UK anymore it like merged with Game and so now its a pretty bad service I mean, I went in and asked for a game that came out the week before and the claimed it never existed.

Nooooooooooooooooo
I'll probably get it on Steam as well though, it's such a cool system.
I tried a cs 1.6 beta game, it took me 54 mins to connect thru steam.
Yes, I read Pc Gameplay =)
I'm going to hijack a truck dellivering copies to Best Buy, so that's about 5000 copies for me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
