Yeah, hurr, it says STARTING AT $800 which means there's going to be completely garbage specifications and nowhere near what you posted in the OP. Building what you mentioned with about 1tb space would cost around $1000+ from scratch, without alienware. With the alienware prebuilt sh­it it's going to cost around $5000 dollars. A reach from 800.

Unless it's a laptop. Then you kinda have to have it from a company. Wish that wasn't the case... Hm. Glowing clear fiberglass laptop case :)

Actually, you can build a laptop.
Get a laptop w/o graphics card, ram or CPU. And it has to have slots for those.

Then get those.

Not exactly from scratch, but close enough.

My computer also looks very disgusting, and It's an "all in one" computer, which I was told couldn't have any of it's parts replaced unless you split it in half or something.

OMG, Please don't tell me your buying alienware (SUPER OVERPRICED TO THE MAX). Build it yourself, it's not that hard. I chose part for you if you want.
EDIT: I just noticed the specs and needed to kill myself.
1. 4 TB hard drive capacity.
^^^
WTF YOU ONLY NEED LIKE 640 GIGS.

2. An AMD Phenom II X4 925 processor.
With the price, you should be getting a i7.

3. NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 dual GPU graphics card.
Crap card to the prices standards.

4. Dual ATI CrossFire, and something about 50% performance increase by syncing to cards together to perform as one.
Why the ♥♥♥♥ are they talking about crossfire when a nvidia card is selected?

5. Blu-ray.
Unneeded.


This is how prebuilt's make their computer to drive you in:
Huge Unnecessary harddrive (I can barely fill up 250 gigs) + Flashy features (Card readers, Blu-Ray drives) + Crap processors + Crap GPU's with descriptions on features that don't mean anything + Flashy Case = PEOPLE BUYING IT.

I easily fill up 300 gigs of my 500GB HDD, so uhh... no such thing as unnecessary HDD size.

Anyway, just some random info:
