When it comes to pre built gaming machines which pack in the latest technology, Alienware has one of the biggest reputations. While I'm sure that most of our members would agree that putting together something with your own two hands is much more satisfying (and generally cheaper), these systems offer a package for those less inclined to spend time researching components. Alienware is now relaunching its Area-51 ALX desktop and offering an overclocked Intel QX9770 as one of the options. The quad core chip comes water cooled and clocked at 4GHz, which is pretty respectable. There is a catch however, and that is you'll be looking at north of five and a half grand to configure such a system (ouch!). If you don't fancy the look of the Alienware, then Acer are also getting into the gaming desktop market, with the Aspire Predator. I think I'll stick to building my own.
