New Alienware rig makes my stomach hurt just thinking about how much it costs (it's cool, though)

ALX If you really sit down and think about it, do you NEED rent money, a car, and food? Would you even miss those things if you had the new Alienware Area-51 ALX CFX (starting at $5,149)?

If you’ve got that much money to burn, you’ll get an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor that’s been overclocked to 4.0GHz and liquid cooled, 2GB of dual-channel DDR3 memory running at 1333MHz, a standard dual ATI Radeon HD 3870 Crossfire setup, 20x dual-layer DVD burner, 8-channel audio, two gigabit Ethernet ports.

Most everything can be upgraded, too. You can opt for a dual ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 setup in CrossFireX Mode, 4GB of RAM, up to 4-terabytes of storage (160GB drive standard), Blu-ray drive (read-only or read/write), and a bunch of other stuff.
