Hi! I'm getting a new computer and I'm thinking of spending about 1500€ (2063$, 1284£). But this budget is more like a guideline, I can spend more than that if I feel like it. I am also going to get a twenty-something inch HD monitor with multiple inputs and HDMI (one input for my computer and with a press of a button it changes input to my laptop's docking-station), and a monitor like that is maybe 200-300$. I don't buy whole packages. I always "make my own" computers, selecting hardware and putting it together myself. Although, my computer is starting to get really old, so this time I am actually going to get a whole new computer. New chassi, new motherboard, new cpu, new everything. My plan is to keep only the CD-station(s) and the hard-drive (HDD 7200rpm 1TB). The power-supply and the ram's are working and are quite okay, but I am planning on getting new ones anyways. So, my friend made me consider getting an Alienware, although I've got the picture of Alienware computers being ridiculously over-prized and not that good, they just look really cool. But, after some internez-surfing I found out that the cheapest (and worst) Alienware computer is only 1300$. Although, this computer has some (in my opinion) terrible choices of hardware. It is very easy to customize it though. You just go to "Dell Online Store" and fill in what parts you want upgraded. I ended up looking at the specs of an great computer, but it still feels kinda over-prized. I had upgraded some parts and the prize had rose to 1988$ (Including a monitor). Specs for Aliemware Aurora (Some parts changed through Dell Online Store) 1998.00$:
