I would get the computer instead of the LST, the computer is worth getting more compared to the LST.

You'd be a lot better off building your own computer. Alienware is just a name you are buying, not their reputation that they once had.

Default RE: aw man

why the heck did you spend $2700 on a PC? that is really stupid cause in a few years when your pc is outdated you'll have a $2700 piece of crap. My advice would have been to save half for a future computer unless you got money spilling out of your pockets in which cased I'd have spent it on an R/C! HP media center desktop: dual CD burners, TV tuner w/ fm tuner too, 1 gb ram, 250 gb hard drive, pentium D 2.8 ghz, best graphics card available and best sound card available (on HP's site) all for $1300. No monitor cause I already have one and no speakers cause the ones you buy with the computer are usually overpriced or just plain junk and I have speakers already. You can record TV, watch it on your computer, and pause, rewind, and fast foward it and listen to the radio all on your computer! hows spending $2700 on an Alienware sound now?

I wouldn't usually pick an R/C over a computer, but AlienWares are such freaking rip-offs. So, get the LST.

Default RE: aw man

3.6 and 3.8 ghz are speeds measured at pentium 4
pentium D is way better
pentium D looks slower on the ghz measure but for some weird reason ghz isn't the same unit for different pentiums don't ask me why but it is so or I'm completely wrong
so actually I'm upgrading from a 3.6 pentium 4 to a 2.8 pentium D

After I am done working on my micro R/C projects, I will move on to modding my PSP and then building my own computer, so many projects so little money.

Default RE: aw man

the computer I got for last christmas we hook up to my dad's projector and we have a 80" projection screen! you dont even want to know how awesome racing games are on that screen! I am completely obsessed with racing games until I beat NFS porsche, NFS Hot Pursuit, NFSU, NFSU2 and then they get boring
I hate how NFS used to make good racing games like Porsche Unleashed and now they make ****ty games like NFSU2 or Most Wanted
I'm getting Battlefront 1 for Xmas!
I hope to get AOE 3 sometime soon
