Help with alienware pcs??

Question

i tried to configure the alienware pc. The latest one. When I upgrade from single nividia geoforce gx2 1 gb card to dual nividia geforce gtx 280 i have to pay 800 bucks more but when i upgrade to triple nvidia geforce gtx 280 i have to pay 1700 bucks. That means one gtx 280 card is causing me 900 bucks. Why is this?

Answer 1

This is most likely because each different case has different video cards they'll let you get, which is really why you pay so much more, they also have a different motherboard, so thus, they only allow certain cards in certain cases, it's just a way of them not letting you get a "good deal". You need to buy a fancy case with all these LEDs and what not to get a good video card, just a way for them to get more money from you.

but just to tell you Alien Ware computers are EXTREMELY overpriced, I would highly recommend building your own computer on NewEgg, buy the parts you want and assemble it, it's easier then most people think it is, it's kinda like a big Lego kit, I mean it's kinda fun actually, also you will save your self $100-$1000, I mean I made my computer on Dell (which owns Alien Ware), then I made a wishlist on NewEgg, on Dell my total was $1800, I paid $1082, saved tons of money and have the exact computer that I wanted, I love my new computer and I really recommend building a computer to everyone, if you have two functional hands and are able to read simple instructions, then you can build a computer.
