I don't care what ANYONE says. Buying a prebuilt computer is good for people that don't know what they're doing or are lazy, or don't care about being cool, but if you're buying that Alienware rig to be cool, you should be either shot dead or taught a lesson. (And I'd prefer taught a lesson, but some people are just too hopeless.) Put your own sweat and blood into a custom case mod that's truly unique. When I can manage the cost, I'm gonna cut a hole in the side of my case right over the CPU and make a small window there, and stencil a humane heart onto the window in beige paint (so it blends with the case), then get a CoolMod fan grille for my Volcano 11, situated directly beneath the window, which results in a glowing heart in the side of my case that flashes red with HDD activity. Now that's cool because I put time and effort into a case mod and it's unique. Just remember, there's a million and one alienware rigs out there, but only one homemade rig with a heart-shaped window showing off the CoolMod.

Now if someone did a unique custom mod to that Alienware rig, yeah, then you're as cool as anyone else with a genuinely unique case mod. And that's pretty effin cool.
