[N1kkon]

[xmpddaja]

hell yeah!!

[coolguyallday]

My Alienware Aurora. AMD Phenom X4 Black Edition Quad Core Alienware Approved Lquid Cooling+Acoustic Dampening 1000 Watt Multi-GPU Power supply Nvidia GeForce Single 896mb GTX 260 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM AMD 790FX motherboard 300GB Velociraptor SATA hard drive Killer Xeno Pro sound card with 30'' Samsung Monitor all under 2 grand. (got as a gift from my grandma)

[Ru55ianGrim]

[murdercure]

Um....

AMD Phenom X4 OC'd 3.4 Ghz

Radeon 4870 1GB GDDR5

6 Gb DDR2 Ram

Asus m3a78 Motherboard

500gb sata, 500gb esata hard drive

xf-i fatality headset/soundcard

22" monitor

under 1300.

You paid like 1grand for the alienware logo on your pc

[coolguyallday]

na i got a 30'' screen.

[UnderTheBridge67]

Your Grandmother must either sell drugs or kill people for a living.

[coolguyallday]

na she fixed satalites or atleast work with repairing rovers and other nasa stuff. she worked for nasa for about 30 years. she is retired.

my grandma as well as my whole family doesn't have to pay taxes. because of her tribute to space explorations.

[UnrealGlider]

rofl, taht would cost under a grand if you didn't go with retardware.

[coolguyallday]

na each part cost about 200-500$ i looked them up.

[acid4444]

how in hell did your grandma know to get alienware?! haha, im just imagining my grandmother in a computer store like "... D:"

[acer0169]

"know to get" !? Alienware suck major balls. Anyone who knows anything about computers knowns never to buy alienware or through dell's "build your own computer" system because they add hundreds of pounds!

[acid4444]

well yea, but for a grandma, that's still pretty good lol

[acer0169]

Lol okay to be fair I would be impressed if my gran said anything to do with alienware, AMD, XFX etc..

But my point still remains ;)

[Apbowler]

Correct!

[N1kkon]

yeah i agree I was stupid enough to buy an alienware about a year ago. BIGGEST waste of money ever. They really do suck!

[jwg811]

@acer0169 fuck yah they do bro make a 10x better computer for a lower price at new egg if you have the smarts

[TheMrVogue]

Alienware kinda suxs dude... lol I have a pc i built myself that's better than all their shit put together, but I gave you a thumbs up because that's fucking hilarious =D

[B1llxNy3]

Woah thanks for pointing out they are in medford oregon, thats where i live....haha how cool

[kenkoyABC123]

Wow its more than the Alienware

[thepineapple1]

dude...u need a beard...or stop shaving so low.

[TigerMilitia]

and do these ship only to the US?

[MinimeDrummerBoi]

Build your own. Much more fun and will save you a ton of money.

[lzds2112]

These rigs cost you a ridiculous amount of money. If you're not really after the paint job, just order the parts and build yourself. Even with the same parts as in this rig you'll be able to cut off like 50% of the price.

[nictherocker]

Nope, everywhere I think. Go to smoothcreations(dot)com and just go to Desktops and select one, go to checkout and check the list for locations

[nictherocker]

no, they ship pretty much everywhere

[TigerMilitia]

i am gonna order a top gaming rig next month Alienware or this?

[ilmagnified]

selfmade.

[nictherocker]

Never alienware, def this.

[Blankwarrior]

Tell me or not this is a good rig 4 $889

4GB (2GBx2) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory (Corsair or Major Brand)

(Sckt775)Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 CPU @ 3.0GHz 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache 64-bit Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1 (64-bit Edition) NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1GB 16X PCI Express [+126] (Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA)

Single Hard Drive (500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD

EVGA 750 SLI NVIDIA 750i sli

Is this rig worth $889? message me

[shigalbigal]

i would wanted a SLi configuration for that kind of money... and maybe a quad-core processor

[Nopiw]

for $889?

At least SLI, quad-core and a Skyline GTR R-35 of course.

[GigglingGirI]

after seeing this video i will never buy alienware again.

[nictherocker]

After looking at reviews of alienware, I will never buy alienware.

[taltigolt]

not to be mean or something but it looks like a complete waste of money

[Newbpwng]

agree

[jrsaling]

This is awsome work..and for the moron that says falcon has better paint jobs..who do you think started custom paint jobs for falcon..that would be smoothcreations

[kyleisreallycool]

its "oregin"

[Arthurb06]

Not much help if you're trying to pronouce it lol:

OR-ih-guhn

[shimmyshammy615]

no its oregon

[Dominionlord]

wow, 3DGAMEMAN i see you've been loosing some kilos, good work, good reviews, perfect english so its really easy to understand. 5.1/5 XD

[PCModder95]

Hi 3DGAMEMAN good viedeo Review

[feverofhell2]

3DGAMEMAN What is the watercooling kit in this machine i,ve seen a review from you once on it but can,t seem too find it.

[Ofarrell86]

oooh sweet vid, thank you :)

[94519933]

HD Looks so awesome

[RobTheGamer]

If they offered JUST the custom cases, they would get a lot more business.

[manbearpig91]

hell yes! i would want the one with the rust decals!

[psycopyro001]

I would sooo buy just the case but in E-ATX Form Factor!

[nictherocker]

Yeah but you can send yours to them so it gets painted, just get the case you want that they offer from somewhere else

[manbearpig91]

wow, i cant really see the appeal of skulls, why are they so popular on everything?

[slaterking1000]

On the back of the PSU looked like a voltage switch way have normal and turbo labelled?

[thatjesse]

awesome looking cases!

[reYKCuf]

The truth is out there.

[shaurz]

Great craftmanship, but I really don't see the attraction of the designs.

[NicolinoOh]

man these are awsome lol ^^

[losaltos6]

way to expensive for the time you can put into building a computer.

[3DGAMEMAN]

What makes this particular system expensive is the Intel QX9650 CPU which is around $1000 by itself. A CPU like an Intel E8400 would drop the cost of the system from $2299 to like $1500. Also, they can build you any configuration you want.

[XshlomoX]

The art work is AWESOME ... BUT the build/specs are pure IDIOTIC who puts a QX9650

with ONE 4870 they should have put atleast 2 of them or an X2

or just change the CPU

cuz it ridiculous!!!

[nictherocker]

Yeah but you can change that when you order one

[notveryawesome]

Must've been one LOUD mamma jamma, I think that was the first thing I've actually heard. I think you should see about reviewing a dB meter of sorts so you can start posting readings instead of sound recorded through a mic for us to judge! What with all the YT compression and the other variables, y'know.

Another enjoyable review. Thanks for the post!

[CMAKD]

GiD ViD

[NzNexus]

this case is bad ass

[onishchuk4]

Falcon Northwest is in Oregon too.

[niiidar]

Svastika on the fire PC! lol :P

[fightingfalconfan]

i am from oregon, he didnt say the state name right. its pernounced oregin, not oregon. we are vary stricked with it comes to how you say our state name. anyway, i never herd of the company till this review. and the paint job looks stunning. now i may want to order a pc from them instead of going with my original plan of building my own 4 grand pc. well later rodney, and once agian, great review. just make sure you say our state name right next time. thanks :D

[raywand]

yep im from there to i live in portland you??

[fightingfalconfan]

beaverton, been here all my life. been building since i was about 12 years old. built my own pc thats been constantly changing from a low 250 dollar pc, to nearly 3600 dollar pc. if you want to see what my pc looks like just check it out on my youtube profile. the back fan is now a red 120mm fan. and the video card is now a evga fx 5500 with 256 mb video card.

[seroyer2]

same thats what I said a page before.

[Delus1on77]

pfff, it looks cool but my pc has better performance for much less

[ImminentInfection]

damn i am from canada

[nictherocker]

They ship to canada

[Gamerzlife]

holy crap, a lot of things are in oregon now.

[traingp7]

Instead of spending all that money on a paint job you could spec that same computer with better parts.

[Buzzap14]

My thoughts exactly.

[seroyer2]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaa you say Oregon like this Or•ih•gin. not like this Ory•gone. get it right east coster's and midwesters.

[GSingh707]

He's Canadian

[seroyer2]

well ya but in B.C. say it right, it's the east cost that says it wrong. it's just so annoying. it like when people mispronounced you last name. everyone who lives here will correct you if you say it wrong unless they are from California.

[GSingh707]

I'm from california lol.

[seroyer2]

do you live in PDX? but more importantly do you act like you have live here all your live then complan about the rain and ask portlander's how they can live in this kind of environment?

[GSingh707]

no. I live in california. And I live. And don't complain, or bitch about anything.

[seroyer2]

Oh well thats good, well I was talking about the people who move to Portland from California.

[coffeeandsugar20]

lol, I'm used to the rain. I could care less, frankly.

[chaksa]

waste of money !I make apc like that whid half the price!!This is propaganda!!!

[Xezmer]

That's a QX9650, a 1k CPU, you do the math.

[chaksa]

noob i live in europe you make a pc like that mutch cheaper DO YOU MATH NOOB!!!You americans sell more prici than europe and thats a fact!!!

[Xezmer]

Hey child, europe actually costs more, thanks.

[leroux510]

LMAO

[chaksa]

dont be a noob what 1euro in dollars is how mutch do you math you noobs !!!IN EUROPE IS CHEPaR!

[CockerTech]

i just have something to say, Im wet! lol

[somewhereneartheend]

Very interesting! I'm a nerd who sits home all day on the computer and makes more than most people:)  Great stuff. SUBSCRIBED! I watch your show like tv without commercials! A+

[lorddragoono]

cool

[forumdude123]

3dgameman--- what is your twitter name?

[rastderb]

i wana mona lisa on my case

[mexinator808]

cool, medford isnt that far from here,

[AlexanderStore]

great with the HD!

[2142bf]

I connected my Ultimate 9800gt from Asus to my 37inch Dell hdtv with a hdmi to dvi connecter. But here is the thing. My gaming console with component shows 720p but with my comp it say 1337x765 or someting like that. Is this the same as 720p or am i doing somthing wrong or unable to do 720p with my rigg?

[2142bf]

lol i misspelled experience again(With my past experiances)

[doomtomb3]

The price point for a rig like this and the custom airbrushing is very competitive.

[Jamie081993]

thats whats so fun about it lol

[2142bf]

With my past experiances. I know that mishandling will break the case, large coolers or unplugg connectors but looking at your pic of the sata port cracked up like that makes feel like the manuf. sold it to like that.

[Marzerq]

I must that i LOVE the quality of all the new HD streamed clips that you have.

Can i ask how big a 2 minute clip with quality is?

[2142bf]

Wow! Such a nice computer shipped in a wood crate had damage on the inside and not outside of the case? How does that happen?

[3DGAMEMAN]

I've seen internal damage like this before. The box gets really mishandled by the couriers sometimes. SATA connectors pulling free is not uncommon. As a matter of fact some companies actually use clear silicon compound to secure them. Even the video cards can be damaged, coolers ripped off, memory pops out, etc...

[Jamie081993]

How does the sata, ram and other components get pulled out and no damage to the outer of the case. I would of thought ram, and sata cables are quiet hard to pull out specially just by movement. Case prity awesome but the company sounds kinder bad for shipping and to many problems with the build like you said about the cables.

Gr8 Video Rodney Keep Up The Good Work

[3DGAMEMAN]

Ok... let me describe it another way. For example, if you get into a bad car accident, everything inside the card will be thrown about unless they are fastened very securely. Wear your seat belts folks ;)

[Jamie081993]

yea I no what its just that it must be bashed around quiet hard then because the sata cables wouldnt just full out easilly.

Do you see what i mean sorry if i didnt explain properly

[3DGAMEMAN]

Yea, some couriers REALLY bang this stuff about :( I've seen cases completely crushed.

[Jamie081993]

Serioslly Crushed OMG lol

Thats why its best but build your own :)

Its also funner and you can make everything the way you want.

Nice Video Rodney

Keep up the good videos You Rule Dude

[chestbuster1987]

Some computer parts are more likely to move then others. Especially heatsinks and video cards.

[mattiasspiessens]

Nice case ! Prety awesome

[bitchslapper12]

Please log on to Steam!

[3DGAMEMAN]

No tech questions on Steam please. If you do ask me a question there I will tell you the same thing. Please email/message me though YouTube, email or post a message on our large tech forum at 3dgameman . com

[ironeagle69]

awesome case, except for the front 120mm fans without dust filters

[santeenl]

lol, overall, this is a kickass product, genius :D 5 stars!

[MetalGhost360]

do you get to keep this rig?

[KennethLarsson]

Not really my cup of tea it looks so cheap yet it probably costs a fortune.

[feverofhell2]

really nice not my kinda style with that graphics :D but the quality is really nice

[3DGAMEMAN]

Yea, their air brushers really know what they are doing.

[MugenRac1ng]

Bet this has a huuuuuge price tag!

[3DGAMEMAN]

System includes: Motherboard: DFI Lanparty P45-T2RS Micro ATX Processor: Intel QX9650 Proc @ 3.33 GHz Graphics: Sapphire Radeon 4870 512MB Hard Drive: Seagate 500GB (7200 RPM) Power Supply: Tagan BZ series 700w PSU Memory: G.Skill 8 GB (4x2GB) 240 pin DDR2 (PC 6400) Optical Drive: Lite-On 20x DVD+/-R Burner Liquid Cooler: Coolit PURE Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit Case: Danger Den Tower 16 (FREE Custom Painted Lanshark) Price: $2299

[3DGAMEMAN]

The Intel QX9650 CPU is expensive, so that's why the system is pricey. Remember, they can build a system exactly to your specs if need be.

[juliostalin]

Excellent pimp-pc  d:|

3DGAMEMAN rules....

[Vagmonster666]

its cool but i would rather have plain looking case and have better components.....i dont know but i enjoy the computer from performance standpoint than just starring at the case....

[yunuscanemre]

exactly. you wont be looking at your computer case when you are playing games, thats why you should spend thatm oney on better parts or a better screen.

[crocz]

Paintings suck. I generally hate all kind of these things.

[1G0TP1NK8C1DB00TS0N9]

WOW, I really love their paintjobs! Excellent review!

Peace :)

[pr0wnz]

i think the paint is awesome, the rest sucks.

[happytodd]

Damn so sexy, I so want like every case they make :P

[kainaussie]

lol i live in a street caller oregon

and u cant say it propperly

its

[dtsmucker]

I bet his spelling is better than yours though, stupid.

[jo05dk]

Beautiful paint, but why the heck does it need to be that noisy?:-s That's a do over imo.

Again we see this "default settings" listing in the performance graph.. Are we supposed to know what the settings are?

[3DGAMEMAN]

It's the setting when you install the drivers without tweaking them, default performance setting.

[jo05dk]

I see, thx:-) But why don't you note the details setting then? There's one hell of a difference between "low detail for the looser pc" and "max overkill pwnage über gamer rig setting";-)

[tricccple]

that's some decent work on a design.

[runie360]

i saw that same design on a cosmos on newegg. wonder if they designed it too?

[KlasicKumputerz]

Groovy!

[hairyblue]

i thought this review was kinda weird to be honest. im more interested in new hardware and not the paint job of USA based company...

[3DGAMEMAN]

Well, maybe you'll like my upcoming Building A KICKASS Gaming Rig 3 Video.

[MetalGhost360]

w00t x58 i hope :)

[3DGAMEMAN]

Yea, if you have to find out more, please go here: 3dgameman . com/ forums/ showthread. php?t=55266

[th3d3wd3r]

I'll be looking forward to that. I know it's a tall order, but make it extra long. You're video's are very short, which is great for quick reviews of hardware, but on the subject of case modding and such, drag it out a little more :)

[3DGAMEMAN]

I intentionally try and keep them short and sweet. Attention spans are getting shorter and shorter these days ya know ;)

[th3d3wd3r]

rofl, too true Rodney, too true. I didn't mean to criticise, your hardware reviews are spot on. I suppose I'm just speaking for myself, I'd personally like to see you do a more indepth video on system builds and case modding. Especially the case modding aspect. Either way. Keep it up mate, top notch work.

[knaxon]

why was the 3dmark score so low

[codymackay123]

no, its normal for that system

[InternetSandman]

when it comes to artwork I'd rather go with falcon northwest. and wow that's loud

[Rowdyeh]

HR Giger paintings would look really great on a case! Thanks for the review Rodney!

[trousien]

you pronounced "Oregon"

[notskorn]

Rodney you need to work on your grammar. You have way too many run-on sentences man.

[Bored00m]

english teacher from hell?

[solvrn]

I have to be honest, the skulls look kind of dumb.

[Lvaneede]

I agree

[zgmurph]

i dont see watch in HD or HQ button :(

[ivanyoulube]

you have to let it load it

when a video is uploaded you will see it but you have to wait for the HD to render

it will be up in like an hour or so

[Ndogg012]

Youtube hasn't finished Encoding yet...another hour or so.

[psycopyro001]

But good review

[psycopyro001]

Hmm whats with the lack of views? and lack of comments...

[nerddna]

it is 2 in the morning

[Hydra360]

Probably due to the late upload, it's almost midnight here.

[psycopyro001]

Ohhhh you see it was only 5:30 pm where i am

[Computenator]

I can't wait till i get my first spray-gun...in the future i'm probably going to buy-modify-paint cases and then sell them on e-bay or something

[Iridetrikes]

nice review!

[coffeeandsugar20]

Seriously, Medford is about 280 miles from Portland, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, and Tigard. Which are major suburbs in Portland. If anything, they should have stuck the location in WilsonVille. It's near the silicone forest, and isn't far from any major suburb...

[coffeeandsugar20]

I'm confused as to why they're in Medford, Oregon. Medford is MILES away from Portland and the suburbs...

[3DGAMEMAN]

[3DGAMEMAN]

Excuse my pronunciation, I'm from Canada

[coffeeandsugar20]

Oh, no worries.

You can say it how you would like. I was just pointing it out how a lot of people say it.

Sorry if you felt that I was insulting you :(

[3DGAMEMAN]

I hear ya. Not insulted at all :)

[coffeeandsugar20]

Smooth Creations is in Oregon? I live in Oregon :D

[3DGAMEMAN]

Cool :) You'll have to check em out.

[ResidentPhysco]

who gives a flying fuck?

[SilentPitbull]

deff not me.

[3DGAMEMAN]

Folks still not getting it with these comments :(

[MetalGhost360]

ha your awesome :D
