I got my gaming rig from alienware, never looked back

I'd avoid the Fatal1ty hardware if I were you, you're just paying for the name. You can get much better for the same price if you have a look around.

Also, be careful with eBuyer, they're known to be very difficult to deal with if you have to return something to them.

I've never been able to understand whats so fasinating about Alienware compared to a custom built machine.

Care to enlighten?
