I'm actually planning on dropping $5-$6K on a new loaded Alienware ALX system around the end of April, that's when AMD is gonna release their next line of processors which use a new socket and DDR2 ram.
I know that some people think that it's stupid to buy a sytem like that, but I always wait 2 years, then I buy another top of the line system. The key is to wait for a new part to just come out, that way it won't go outdated as fast
