Heck I will join in
Now youve gotta bair in mind, I originally bought this pc ( about 5 years ago) before I really understood much about upgrading etc, so thats why its a bit commercial, and I agree its no where near modded to your standard, but what the hell I just keep upgrading bits at a time that I can afford (Im only a teenager )
I recently upgraded my old geforce 8800 GT (on ebay ) to a HIS ATI 5850
1 1.5tb hard drive, and 1 750 gb one.
4gbs of DDR 2 RAM (one of the next upgrades)
some stock dell quad core processor (waiting till new models at christmas for an upgrade)
hooked up to a 22" LG monitor
Im proud of it but it still has far to go
5 yrs old still goin strong with no upgrade
I have my gaming PC (Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04):
Intel E5200 @ 3.8GHz with Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro
Gigabyte EP43-DS3L
4Gb OCZ DDR2 @ 1066
EVGA GTX260 @ a bit faster than it should be..
Custom case - side window, blowhole fan, CCFLs etc.
My HTPC (Win7):
AMD Opteron 146 @ 2.8Ghz
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
2Gb Corsair Value Select
7900GTX
Plus a FreeNAS box with a 520MHz Pentium III, my laptop and a 80486 thing that I haven't turned on for years...
Built it about 2-3 years ago and upgraiding from time to time.
Asus p5k-premium Black Pearl edition
C2D 2.66
Geforce 8400gs (need to upgrade this)
8gb ram
Internal and External HD's:

good stuff, I cant wait to have the money to build something nice
Holy F***ing Crap!!!!
those are some monsters!!!!! i wish i had something that awesome, instead i just got my laptop (which isnt all that bad, but its not gaming rig, which i would like to have). i did have a friend who built his own gaming pc. he called it his B.F.G. (big f***ing gun for those of you non english people). if i remember correctly, it had a terrabyte of storage, but thats all i can remember.
Dang, you guys are crazy good with your pcs, I once tried upgrading the memory on my pc and i short wired it.

Then my luck came:
Dell Latitude XPI CD!!! wooo! CD!! p1 150mhz, 64mb ram, floppy. win me
^^ I broke that one
Then there was a long gap (about 4 years):
Compaq Evo N610c4 1.6Ghz, 1gb ram, 160gb hdd, dvd, win 7 home premium:
pretty good running win 7 for a 8 year old laptop!
Then:

But i think i am going to stick with compaq as they are quite cheap
sony vaio UX series
a piece of hardware directly from heaven
Looks like the Schwarzenegger of PSP's lol
My first laptop was a Dell lattitude lm that was a leftover from Boeing when they upgraded OS's... It was a pentium MMX @166Mhz, 640Kb RAM, 3Gb HDD and Win95. Interestingly enough it still boots, works and runs my CAD program from college haha! I ran windows update and received the "your system has reached end of life and will have no more updates" message and have a picture somewhere...
My current laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1525, Core2 duo @1.66Ghz, 3Gb RAM, 160Gb HDD, running Vista. Runs perfectly and has for years now, got it from the Dell outlet for about $480 several years ago.
After having a Compaq desktop years ago (that ended it's life horribly) I have stuck with Dell products from the outlet. I don't care about scratches and dents, as long as they work!
I'm still using my first laptop which is an Sony vaio its like a desktop. My newer laptop broke which is also an vaio.

now i have just have a desktop and phone!
Im looking to buy a new gaming computer because my mac is really not built for it. It runs some games pretty well under windows but not as good as i would like. i have a quote for 1000$ for it atm (2.54Ghz MBP 2009 model) and i have 600$ of extra cash im willing to put into a new computer.
my basic question: What is the best gaming computer i can get in the price range of 1400-1600$?

In all seriousness, you are better off building your own because it will be cheaper. If you go that route, the only things that will be expensive are the CPU, GPU and motherboard.
Now if you don't know what processor to go with, I suggest you check out Intel's 2600K. It is Intel's new Sandy Bridge processor and it is FRICKING awesome for its price. Easily overclockable up to 4Ghz on air.

1600$ Max? I can't believe I'm going to say this, but Alienware's m11x and m15x are solid laptops with a good price. You can also check out HP also or Dells XPS series which are pretty noteworthy.
Take a look at asus laptops. They have the best price for what you get.

wow....no
i definetly am looking at Asus and Alienware atm.
do you guys have any specific models that i should take a look at? maybe a config that has worked well?
Just go for Alienware if you 100 % wants gaming laptop
If you only wants a gaming laptop then go after processor and Graphics card because RAM And hard drive you can upgrade that later , You need solid Nvidia GTX Series for good gaming
I know Lenovo's aren't technicaly gaming PC's but they have some great specs for the price there
I'm in the Alienware camp as well. My brother has one and he can multi-box WoW (5 account bot team lol) with no lag whatsoever.
But it runs any game he wants to on it with no lag and its pretty slick looking.
ive heard alienwares are a bit overpriced for what they are worth, however i like the power they put into those computers. I will definetly check that out. also, should i go for a custom built comp or just one pre-configed?
Well you cant cave in so you'll have to get atm a good solid computer thatll last you the next 10 years

joke aside best bang for the buck (or should i say fps for the buck) is the sager brand , go ahead , compare the specs and price with alienware , or anything ya want
they look more solid too (which is a huge plus compared to the childish green alien faces imo)

yeah they also have the new 2k i7 (sandybridge)
Ive been considering getting one. I think they look really cool. Anybody have any experience with them? Or does anyone suggest something comparable?
Alienware is good.. but overpriced. IMO I wanted a nice mobo gaming device and i settled with the Lenovo Y550 ($600) about 2 years ago and it has held up fine it still able to play some of the newer games but not on high though. Gets the job done.
Same goes for all technology once you purchase something there is already something better out there for the $.
Or you can wait till thanksgiving area. Thats when they really start rolling out the good deals ( not only because of BF) Check slickdeals often they have some nicely priced gaming laptops.
Alienware laptops are overpriced and a battery drainer (the dual graphics one), but on some models you can get a high quality gaming with excellent battery power.
And they're not really overpriced, considering the hardware and production costs needed to build a SINGLE machine. I choose the upcoming MSI laptop. it's cheap
choose wisely
and thank me. be grateful.

Ive been considering getting one. I think they look really cool. Anybody have any experience with them? Or does anyone suggest something comparable?

If you're on a budget, don't bother. Gaming notebooks are never worth the money coz you can pour so much more into a PC and get much better specs.
Also, here's my favourite laptop site comparing graphics cards. Just click into the card name and then you scroll to the bottom to see what laptop has that GPU. Their review are VERY thorough.

I was more talking about cost/benefit ratios than customizability. Simple example is that my single GPU usually beats an SLI/xfire setup on a notebook, using lower costs.
Get that straight.

Agreed. Say if you buy a 1,000 dollar gaming laptop you can probably get the same/better specs for probably half the price. Plus if you have a desktop you can always upgrade while laptops its pretty pricey.
Whatever you end up getting, I strongly suggest actually trying one out in person.
Get a feel for the keyboard, and don't judge screen resolutions/picture quality by reviews or opinions from other forum members (not that they don't provide useful information). Audition the laptop you intend on purchasing. That's the only way you'll see which screen is easiest on your eye's. I made the mistake of not doing this. Never again.

good laptop, with it's weight and thickness makes it a recommended one. but those price, and no DVD-RW player, touchpad not for left-handed, makes it not comparable to the Alienware...

$2800, so sell your car, sell your wife, cuz they're stealin' everythang out here.
No. Please do some minimal learning in order to build your own and get better performance at 1/3 the cost.
Sager NP5165 is what I would reccomend. Similar specs to the MX14 at only near 1000 dollars. Google it and buy from xoticpc. they seem to have good prices and support.
I like my Asus G73jh I play wow every day on it and all my surfing.1283.00 @ bestbuy out the door
