For that price I could build a way better system. I love how on these OEMs like Alienware, Voodoo PC, and Overdrive PC brag about how well the systems are put together and no one can match that. It's all about paying attention to detail, anyone who knows how to build a PC can build a better system for less than what it takes to buy one from these manufacturers. You are paying for the name.

In this system they could have used some better parts.
