I just dont know if i can splurge on this much epicness.

So my flight is booked home, ill be leaving pudong on 18th january to arrive in uk on 19th.

My financial estimates on how much ill have when i et back is around 26,000TMB so £2,600. i ws planning on buying a PC AKA this one

And i was also going to buy a touring bike to cycle around france/spain at the end fo the summer which will be about £500-600 for the bike.

So that leaves me with £1346

Now heres the question, do i scrap that PC and go for one of these babies

currency exhange its about £900 but i think its a giant upgrade

Whats your opinions

Hello Beri,

If i were you i'd go for your first choice, or build a better one yourself.

I had alienware before and to be honoust if you dont spend a lot more money (so not the standard version) your just buying the case and the brand not the inside. There are so many better alternatives to make / buy for that amount

Also they look very nice on the pictures but those alienware cases are HUGE and heavy. Compared to your normal pc Case

Agree with AV =)

Although i'd love to have an alienware to oogle and rub myself on...its not worth the money to get it if you're just going for performance.

my Bike shopping is pretty much sorted, flatmate was a pro cycler for a few years adn a guy whos staying at our flat for a month is 1/3rd way cycling round the world so theyre picking the bike for me =D

Im going to have a look into building my own one and see how much it would cost, does anyone know any good sites preferably for the UK when ic an buy parts pretty cheap?

i put a thread up on overclockers that gives some info on what i want to do
