Nice background

@drawbobby Actually i checked the alienware website and asked my alienware owning friend and i did find an awesome pc that i customized and i am going to be getting for my birthday. its an alienware m11x with 8gb ddr3 1333 mhz ram or something like that and an i7 intel core processor and 1.5 terabyte hard drive for like $1700. i added some other cool features and i found that it would run very well, without breaking my bank too hard lol. i will convince my dad into it i always do :)!

[KILLblackopsclan]

hey i have a mac and i LOVE minecraft. i am looking into an alienware and i am wondering if it runs really smooth or is it just ok? I get on singleplayer maximum 350 fps but average is like 130 fps for me. i like mac and know nothing about pc. if someone could help me with alienware or a good fast computer it would be great. prefferably alienware without breaking the bank but like $1000-1600 in that range. Thanks!

@KILLblackopsclan

That's downright impossible. If you want low cost, good parts, and sturdy build go Ibuypower(dot)com

[KILLblackopsclan]

@menissalt whats impossible? i looked on alienware i chose m11x laptop customized it and it came out to 1600. now would that be an improvement?

[pancakesmasher102]

@KILLblackopsclan an alienware is a amazing computer brand

[KILLblackopsclan]

@pancakesmasher102 I know right? Maybe sometimes if you get a mac custom and get a alienware standard, mac is possible to beat it. But, Alienware still rocks and even better if its custom to what you like!

[pancakesmasher102]

@KILLblackopsclan Well if you had a plain area 51 mac probably even with customization probably couldn't beat it.

[KILLblackopsclan]

@pancakesmasher102 true but i meant like an m11x with a i2 core compared to a custom mac would have the mac most likely win i think

[pancakesmasher102]

@KILLblackopsclan oh well yeah

[JasimXX]

alienware m14x or apple macbook pro 15. which one ?

simple question :)

[KILLblackopsclan]

@JasimXX M14x all the way bro go for it please you will never regret it

[NitroExplosion88]

i agree, apple and alienware are for stupid rich fucks that dont care how much money they got but they know they have the money to spend, for a 4 to 5 grand pc just for the damn Name Brand, the name brand will not make you richer or smarter just cuz there popular doesnt mean nothing, when you put that 5000 dolllar pc next to a 1200 dollar ibuypower system the mac nor the aliencrap wont touch it in performance!!!! Please think before you buy, go for ibuypower its well worth it + 3 year warranty!!

[KILLblackopsclan]

@NitroExplosion88 FUCK YOU! Mac is a great system, so is alienware. Mac typically has less performance then alienware at a lower price. Alienware is more expensive and can only be as low as 1000 dollars which isn't bad to me. I'm not a rich snob and I don't buy for the name, i buy for performance you idiot! I don't want a dell that is going to fall apart in a month so im going to go with mac or alienware. with mac you can get apps but i prefer alienware so go finger yourself you little cunt!

[ISUBANY11]

Im planning on getting a Ibuypower pc..

Are they any good?

I heard the wiring was terrible..

Please reply ASAP :)

[menissalt]

@ISUBANY11

Just get the advanced wiring. Or don't and do it yourself, either way. If you don't want to build your own they are the best AND cheapest option. Believe it or not good wiring takes a lot of time, so paying extra for it is worth it.

[NitroExplosion88]

@ISUBANY11 Not true, my friend just orderd one a week ago and just got it and its awesome, i helped him installed a second hdd for raid 0, and the wiring was amazing, i couldnt put it back the way they had it, i felt like i destroyed an awesome piece of art in an art museum!! but anyways its running so awesome, im going to get mine soon!!!

[MRnewvegas1]

Hey I have that problem to I want a gaming p under 1000 and I found a good set up on ibp but with all thi talk about problems I don't deal like wasting 770 plus the cost of extra packaging and the good wiring. If its good then it looks like such a good deal but being a first time gamin pc buyer I don't know were 2 look

[menissalt]

@MRnewvegas1

If it's your first one go with them. The are the cheapest builders and have a lot of innovation. I had no problems with my desktop through them. Just buy the best wiring packages you can, trust me.

[wownoob1234567890]

i would not go with ibuypower. i heard a lot of bad stuff about them

[menissalt]

@wownoob1234567890

Recently I have too. I have moved on to building my PC from the ground up know that I know more about it. If you've never built a PC before they are a great company to start off on. I rebuilt their machine and overclocked my i7 920 to 4ghz on air cooling, and am currently building PCs for my friends. If you know what you're doing self built is always cheaper and you can get exactly what you want.

[NitroExplosion88]

@wownoob1234567890 not ibuypower i think you mean cyberpower!!! EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM CYBERPOWER PC, there the most horrible pc you can buy, TRUST me on this!!!!!

[nik6069]

or building?

BTW pplesolider is a coksucker!!

[asgardpker]

uuggghhh the picture of the mac pro burned my eyes out. Thats how stupid it looks, and how much it fails. Because I don't want to spend like a thousand dollars to only make slideshows. Because you can't game on those pieces of shit.

[dxskatepwns]

nice, im buying from ibuypower. whats your experience with them like? i've heard a lot of bad reviews. but there really cheap. so what do you think about them?

[menissalt]

@dxskatepwns

I don't know who you've been talking to or what you've been hearing, but I haven't had a problem with IBP. More so, they have gone out of their way to help me and are continually improving their site and services while still keeping prices low.

If you ever have a question just send them an email or talk to a sales rep online.
