    My dad is actually buying it on my behalf so I am not familiar with all the details. (I'm somewhat of a noob with computers)
    Ill try to get a video set up on YouTube if he can send me a video of it. (Also pictures)
    I have already seen one of his other computers in action and it is from like another planet. The best part is its better than all of the custom computers that are sold on Alienware and yet he's going to sell it to me for somewhere near half the price. (Although I am going to be crying for a month after I have to pay $4,000 dollars. Haha)

    What might happen mixed in with critique: Me being a snobby jealous bastard:
    LCD lights will start flashing randomly to footsteps or fan noise.
    Enhanced heat sink and multiple cooling fans are pretty standard...
    Sound activation will start/stop at random time. is not reliable enough for me. I'd stick to the old button.
    Multiple SATA ports are also pretty standard, see the rack to which one can add hard drives in a standard case?
    Fiberglass was mentioned twice, no need to exaggerate
    Built-in speakers might be crappy and don't allow for sound source point customisation. Built-in speakers aren't actually known for their quality, but I'm not sure about yours. Also, the issue with left and right side speakers comes to mind.
    Pft, $4000(With discount) for a computer competing with $4000 Alienware? The badge costs around half the price for Alienware though... In Estonia I could put together a pretty powerful above-average(=Crysis 2 at ~20-30 FPS all-high, yes that's enough for my standards) machine with around 400 € , plus monitors & props for around 100 €.

    >Edit: Removing some pointless jealousy and whine. I WANT.

    It might be closer to 5K.
    I might have to sell my Tag Heuer watch now. ^_^ (Also 5K)

    @boxmein (View Post) Thanks!

     Reasons for critisism :

    1. No actual informations about what the computer contains.

    2. Extremely high price.

    3. We all f**king wish we had 4000$ to spend on computers.

    Ill try to post a link to a video in about 2 weeks when it is done. :D

    And again, I'm finalizing the deal with him tonight. Hopefully I can get all the information sorted out by tomorrow for all of ye with little faith. He also said he could pre-install the computer with all the desired programs I would need, which saved me a month of illegal downloading.
