Gray with blue trim, its not really a great case, but I almost have enough to by a cool case.
There actually is a Falcon Northwest PC that is a Cooler Master ATC case with the Flag on it.

One of my coworkers has been trying to convince me to buy one of those elite Alienware machines. It would cost me over US$5,000, and I don't think I'll ever be willing to spend so much on a computer.
I'd say $1,500 tops for a new machine.

Thats... kinda... sucks.
1.2 ghz? 60gb?
It should be:
2.4 or 3.2 ghz and a 80gb.

It's all relative. I have a low-end machine right now, with 1.2 GHz and 512 MB and Radeon 9200. It can barely run Half-Life 2, but it chokes on FarCry. I wouldn't even consider running Doom3 on it (not that I would want to anyway).
Most likely, I'll be upgrading to a Pentium 4 with 3.0 GHz with 1 GB and ATI Radeon 9600 (128 MB) this summer. And hard drive space? It depends on what you do with your computer. I'll probably get 200 GB Seagate, since it only costs around US$70 nowadays.
It'll probably cost around $1,500 to put it all together, which is reasonable.

Alienware is such a big rip. All those wannabe 1337 alienware users piss me off. Theyre just n00bs who wasted their money cause they cant build their own PC that would be better and cost half the price.

Finnish prices:

Intel Pentium 4 3,0 GHz Northwood = 180e
Maxtor 200gb 7200rpm = 110e
Normal Case = 100e~
Power, Nexus 350W = 70e
Motherboards = 50-150e
:E Examples baby..

What about the flat panel 19" monitor and the DVD drive? And for the 1 GB of PC3200?
But I agree, I might be able to do it for less than $1,500.

i like my LCD. no radiation, unlike those Cathode Ray Tubes, which give you the same dose of radiation that you would get if you worked in a nuclear power plant. its true. they do give off radiation.
dont wanna ruin my cute face so im sticking to LCD. plus CRT has been around since the 30's. time to get something new. like those 56k modems thats are all the rage these days. drools over the thought of getting another AOL CD
