no the cases made for alienware are custom made for those pc's aka you can't get it elsewhere

most times they have the latest tech in their pc's although dell is competing very well with them lately (in the high end segment of the dell gaming desktops)

let's compare the casing to a car you're not going to put the body of a rolls around the components of a BMW M5 (ok rough statement i know)

Personally I wouldn't get Skulltrail, even if money wasn't an issue. The memory interface (FB Dimms) isn't good for games, and no games can address 4 cores effectively let alone 8. If you really want to spend it all now buy a couple of laptops and a desktop from the following:

Macbook Air or equivalent for ultra portability
Dell XPS M1730 or Alienware equivalent for performance but limited portability
Voodoo PC or Alienware or equivalent desktop. Look at something with the following:
QX9770
3 GTX280 in SLI
790i Chipset mobo
Solid State Drive

Personally I would order a custom built phase change setup, however you need to know the right people on the right forums. I bet most people haven't even heard of stage phase change cooling.

Hope you have enjoyed your make believe thread. Don't we all wish we had unlimited money

First of all, JESUS...

Secondly, I hate you.

Thirdly, you should be able to get an awesome PC, laptop or desktop, for about 2000 pounds, as was said.

But, what the hell, why not get both? A more portable laptop, since most of the gaming laptops are pretty hefty with shorter battery life, and a really nice desktop to have at home?

EDIT: I basically suggest the same thing as posted above. Sorry, I was too shocked at how many zeros I saw on the first page.
