I can't understand how anyone would make that connection?!

[tooki]

Umm, because PC gamers often are willing to shell out big bucks for top performance and unique (I didn't say nice) styling. Alienware could certainly be called the Maserati of the PC world.

It's commenly know that if you have the money to burn on a high end gaming pc, you can't get much better than Alienware.

[Eug Wanker]

Alienware? LOL. Alienware makes me think of a Camaro Iroc-Z or Z28.





ie. Capable, but no finesse, and fugly.

If you don't know how to build a gaming pc, where would you get one? HP? Gateway? Dell XPS?

I think it comes down to BAD TASTE. Money doesn't buy taste that is for damn sure.

[Eug Wanker]

They may as well stick a Type-R sticker on it.

Bzzzzt!

It's commonly known among people of little geek knowledge that Alienware is as good as it gets. But those who actually know their way around a computer know that Alienware sells the same parts Joe Bob can get on NewEgg and throws them all into one incredibly ugly and horribly flimsy cartoon-themed case.

If somebody is actually looking to drop serious dough on a gaming machine they should look at Voodoo PC or Falcon-Northwest.

What is your obsession with my lately? Would you like me to post a pic of your girlfriend with a big red arrow to her sexy teeth and skin and comment on great taste?

If the best you can do it point at some AT-AT and question my taste you just made me feel really reassured that I have good taste and you are just grasping for straws. Typical sailing around MacNN pointing out to everyone how they are dumb or whatever so you feel better about yourself.

How about you post a pic of your apartment. In fact I DARE YOU.

Chicken ****.

Haha. I live in a house, not an apartment. I'm also a barely employed college student. They're not normally know for their taste.

Looks like I hit a nerve with the AT-AT though.

Hit a nerve? not at all. I am just surprised how stalkerish yo have been with me lately with your silly PM's and constant following around playing mod.

You doing the same thing superchicken did when he was closeted with his resentment of himself he projected on gay people?

So why don't you show us your "House" if you are so good at judging peoples taste.
Ya, thought so.

1) My house is a house I'm living in because rent is cheap.
2) I didn't realize that Star Wars figurines and models were considered 'good taste'
3) My GF's teeth are better than mine, and I've had braces and she hasn't
4) She has a severe skin allergy and was having an outbreak at that time, but it was nice of you to point out
5) I didn't realize you decided who to date based on skin texture and tooth alignment.

1) I didn't realize my apartment and your standards on fashionable Star Wars props had anything to do with this thread except obsess over me as usual.
2) There is no 2.

That's what I was thinking. For considerably less than AlienWare you could build a mighty PC on your own.

Honestly, people LOVE their cases and it is a huge part of the purchasing decision. They like to look bad ass at LAN parties.

If you look at a typical mac users usually physically appearance and hold it against a typical PC gamer it is like night and day.

A trim line of Honda cars with a highly tuned engine and suspension. Unfortunately, made into a mockery by dumbass ricers who stick Type-R stickers on their Civic DX and Mustang rednecks who are ignorant concerning any car related technology past 1975.

Type Ricer, sticking a type r sticker on your car and thinking it adds power

Type R is short for Typically Retarded. Don't let this stickers fool you, these kids are trying real hard not to drive off the road.

P.S. I just came across this on Google.

Actually there was a Mustang Cobra R, it looks like someone's a bit biased and too quick to generalize. But I agree with most of it.

I can. BMWs are pretty fast and well handling machines, but the new ones look like total crap thanks to Chris Freakin Bangle.

Build one. Having no experience building them whatsoever I built 4 for a company years ago. All you have to do is look at the plugs. It's pretty much impossible ot assemble wrong.

Werd. I think your ikea setup is ..eh.. okay. It's not bad. It's just not unique enough to be super cool in my book. But if someone attacks it, I think they should putup or shutup.

[Eug Wanker]

So, how many bans is that now Ca$h?

+1

Exactly. Show me better and then talk, ya bunch of chickens.

Luckily I like it the way it is and I am hardly look for the approval of some adolescent, crooked toothed, closeted, computer forum users (obviously not talking about you cash).

He's got more bans than I have posts.

That is all. Have a great day.

They're real. They're just like the ricers here... all stupid mods without any performance benefit, or the slack jawed yokels who lift their trucks to go offroading but never really go offroading and just drive to work and back in a huge jacked up truck to make up for their tiny dicks.

Much like you and your behavior huh?

It's ok though, I like small dicks.

But do they REALLY REALLY think it looks cool with giant mufflers and whatever that cow catcher in the front is? Or do they think it is so so so ugly it is cool much like you want to to do to a car.

I don't see many car mods in Toronto but if you go out of town to the Italian area it is all genos but none of them take it that far.

When will you give up?

[Tyler McAdams]

The ALX has quad SLI which is nice... but it's still in that ATX cheap folder aluminum case with ground effects. You want a serious x86 right get a Boxx Apexx 8:

Lots of riced out Civics up near Richmond Hill & Scarberia, etc.

Better? How? In terms of life saving abilities or style?

For style and quality ya they are better most of the time.

Those $300-$500 jeans are just ridiculous though.

I thought that was a rich Jewish area in Richmond hill?

I am sure there are a lot of rice cars in Scarborough but luckily I never go in the east area.

It's probably sort of a joke gone crazy. As for me... and what I want to do, I don't know what you're ****ing talking about. I never do visual modifications really. If I do, they're extremely subtle. I spend money on parts you can't really see that make hte car perform better.

So? It's a good car. over 30mpg, great in the city, reliable, decent looking, she loves it.

Also, the stock exhaust on my car was shot. It was leaking in three different places. I had 3 choices:

1. Buy the used stebro, which is 100% stainless and gives me more power for $650

2. Go the custom route and take it to an exhaust shop, I took it to FOUR shops, they all quoted me over $1000

3. Get OEM replacement exhaust from subaru, which was over $1600.

So what would you do?

[Eug Wanker]

The nicest pair of men's jeans I've seen cost about US$400. I didn't buy them though. I have spent over $1000 on suits though.
