Europe is a rip-off continent for electrical goods and such but if you do a good net search you'll find you can probably knock about 10%-20% off, if not more

Europe is expensive! I live in The Netherlands and I find great deals using the pricewatch @ www.tweakers.net
but getting cheaper deals means searching for stuff that needs shipping, and that's when 17.5% VAT kicks in. Expensive!

Show us your 3d mark score...
5 externals eh(obviously pointless.. but meh)? What you have them on USB or Firewire.
What RAID mode?
nVidia Sucks... so that dosen't matter, but
Alienware isn't a Internet Provider, and yes i do have High Speed internet.
Oh and, Pictures to prove you have this stuff would be nice.
What Processer (mine'll probably pwn it, i love my processer)?

mx5, you are my favorite person. You are so special to me and have the charisma and power to be successful in life.

Your computer must be amazing, I bet you can play all the latest games. My jealousy for you is evident in my pants being up around my neck.

I know Alien ware is not an internet provider, I was just saying I have it. Pics, none I will find my camera...
On external Hard drive I run it on usb.(they are crappy)
Proccessor....let me check, all I know is that it is OK.
