I've been using an Alienware Area 51 customized for me since 2003. It's worked great for Battlefield, Photoshop and other programs. Only problem is some of the plastic parts have broken off, including the CD/DVD tray cover and of course Alienware doesn't cover cheap plastic stuff on their computers. Good computer but I'll never buy from Alienware again because they're way overpriced and you could have Circuit City build nearly the same PC for a lot less.
