Anyone plays Americas Army 2.5.8 or even Ver. 3? You will find me playing the border maps (ver. 2.8.5) under the handle "hanmu."
@ Desiman, for all that the alienware gives you, you'll get more from a custom rig - you might as well build a custom rig! Patriot is right, no fun in letting go of greens for a branded one when you can get the same specs from a custom rig! I built mine back in '08 with an Asrock 780a SLI ATX mb (built in wifi & no graphics!), AMD Phenom 9850 black edn, 4GB RAM, and a PNY GeForce 9800 GX2, all for a grand total of only ~800 USD!! Its still going strong!!
I tried playing many games, but being a bit impatient, I dont have time for strategy games or MW or COD. I prefer AA for it gives me a couple of hours of solid entertainment and its free!! Just d/l & install the game and you are set to go!
The problem with building custom rigs is that people dont pay attention to the 'small print' specs of parts. I literally did a month's research, everyday, to select parts for my rig and the day I got all the parts, I assembled the whole rig (including the OS within 3 hrs!!)
