wow thats a damn good guide price, ill bet that will be for the lower model in that series, 1gb ram, 1x 7900 etc but not bad, i like alien systems but far too pricey for me and a lot of people, thing is if you have the money and want the best you go to someone like alienware or falcon nw

Should be cheaper in the US. Remember that the UK always pay a 20-25% premium.
