go with a custom build. a lot of places will ship assembled. dell's are nice for laptops and workstations, but when you're looking towards something like the alienware, you're not going to get that with an oem.
for the most part that's a pretty sweet setup, but yeah you can get that for around $1700-2000 if you built it yourself. i just upgraded to something very similar to that for $850.. keeping some of my own parts.
