Default best pre-built company

im looking to buy another computer in 3-5 months.... i dont feel like building another as i will be on base. price is not a problem, i want to buy the very best computer i possibly can.

i was looking at alienware, but was wondering if there is anything better out there.

thx

If you want to have peace of mind, then paying the premium for a solid warranty is not such a bad idea. The markup is really just for short term profit and is necessary to cover parts and the shipping costs in the event something goes wrong. Überclok is currently going through a site update to include the new Intel i7 processors and tech service is fantastic compared to some of the other big guys.
