I can see this being a prize for a competition and nothing else, for $4.5k you want something stylish not something cartoon painted. I also find it funny that the phys-x is being bundled with a game that doesn't use it.

cool idea but in reality it will never leave mom's basement. WOW users already have the stigma of being nerds. do you think they really want to prove it.

Dell just wants to capitalise on the fact that there are WoW players out there that are so addicted to the game they will buy this just because they 'have to have it'.

I could see someone in my chem/bio classes sitting in class playing WoW on one of these. There is one dude (I say dude because I'm talking about a Dell) in general classes that used to play Counter Strike on his Dell laptop, needless to say I never saw him in my organic class.
