DO NOT BUY AN ALIENWARE!
I have an Alienware (before the new case), and their service suxors!!11!!
Just try to call their service department and see how long you're on hold. For a company that makes such great computers you'd think they wouldn't get so many calls into the service dept. Their reps are mostly hispanic (hardworkers, cheap labor) (I'm hispanic so no flaming) but they can't speak a lick of english. Pretty annoying when you're trying to talk tech.
This is what I bought::

A week after the warranty expired my hard drive, video card, sound card, and power supply all failed. Not at one time by some power surge either. I've had problems with it ever since with. I suggest NOT buying an Alienware...EVER. Good luck
