cyrnel: I'm not familiar with dead pixel warranties and such as I haven't really thought about it, but I will definitely make sure to understand the guarantee before purchase. Do LCD's tend to have a lot of dead pixel issues? I'm assuming shipping can constitute in this problem.
If I go with alienware, the cost may exceed my budget and I may be forced to purchase a CRT to stay within my limit...they can easily save me $400-500...I'd still rather avoid them, but I may have no choice if the PC is going to be in the $2700-3000 range minus the monitor.
About a second drive, you're correct on that as well, I've been researching and it seems it's a must on a machine of that level, and it's no more than $80-100, so cost shouldn't be an issue...I will add a second drive.
I keep thinking I'm getting close to something...then I read reviews and it all goes back to alienware...lol. More than likely I will purchase what I originally posted about...the area-51 5500, but rather just get the PC from them, and all the extras such as monitor and speakers elsewhere.
P-Naughty: More than likely I won't build my own...even if I can save a fair amount of money for reasons stated above...I'm impatient and don't trust myself ;p
