Of course most of these prices are from Newegg and as such they can be gotten cheaper elsewhere. You can't overclock your computer otherwise you'd void your warrentee and then what would you have paid that Alienware premium for? However this configuration could easily be overclocked. Of course it doesn't take into account a case but hey, you don't always need looks. Oh and $800 for 2 6800gt's is more than necessary but I added some extra in for good measure. I could actually have another $50 left over. Didn't need 400gb of harddrive space either it's always good to have more. There's still over $100 left over. Too bad not all of us have rich relatives and can grow up as spoiled brats but hey as long as you have money, brains don't matter.
