Yes, it is, although it's not the same as when I first bought it. I had AW replace the mainboard, CPU and RAM(that was before I started working on computers), and then I replaced my old stuff with my Gainward G4, Audigy, and I added the CD-RW. Also, I just slide my keyboard tray out over my kness whilst working/playing.

my PC, image quality might be a bit poor, custom painted the whole thing. The black is really reflective, like a cars paint job. However, this picture doesn't really show it too well and I was too lazy to take another pic

sam21,
i believe you cannot get the case with "alienware" words on it unless you buy it from alienware, but you can get the same type of case from antec, chieftec, cheming, and many other brands. He DID buy it from alienware, lets just drop the subject, im just saying i wish i had that kind of money to spend

*cough COUGH*

Fastfly, obviously I am not being clear with my words. I know it's your case, I'm not an idiot
What I don't see is what you decal is supposed to be. When people have windows on the side of their PC's they sometimes have a decal, so when lit up, it shows a dragon, biohazard sign, radiation symbol, etc...
I can't make out what yours is, assuming it's of something. People are saying the Grim Reaper, but I don't see that at all.

Fastfly's window is actually a different shape than it looks from his pic due to the darkness. A quick touchup with photoshop and I got this.

I have the Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 sound system. http://www.thetechzone.com/reviews/s...00/index.shtml
They're about a year old. The stands came with it. It was $199 if I remember correctly. They're pretty nice.

The other computer is my brother's. I basically put it together with the parts from my computer when I did my last major upgrade, with the rest from newegg. It's a Tbird 1.4, Abit KT7A-Raid, 512 megs PC133, and a Radeon 8500. He goes to boarding school so it isn't usually here, but he's been home for the past 3 weeks for X-mas vacation.
