Maybe I'm missing something, but that doesn't seem to be worth $3,000.

It's a Alienware PC...you pay twice as much just for the name.

Well, didn't Dell buy Alienware? Figures, you pay more for the brand now than for the actual system.

Hmmm...I didn't really look at the specs...man, that makes me feel really sorry for people who buy these gaming computers instead of building their own.

People who don't know how much it cost to make a decent pc, probably figure that is a great deal..This machine sig cost me $2159. two yrs ago and at that time the parts were expensive...
