Do a preview on the VoodooPC Omen if you get a chance.

They ship those to India and provide service.

keep in mind a top of the line Omen is over $25k... =)

 

[Chief-Techie]

how much would this cost ?

 

[Powersurge]

their Desktop series starts from $1,200 ish.. goes up to $10,000 or more.. check Alienware: High-Performance Systems - Notebooks, Desktop PCs, Workstations, Peripherals for the proper pricing and configs.

they make sweet laptops though. i have a soft corner for them, more than their desktop systems.

Excuse the brutal honesty, but these rigs are for people with more money than brains (or more money, no brains) :rofl:

ya i knw...yaar..but the thing...is if some one has so much money..tht he can afford it easily..then why not go for it..
the other thing..is most of us can easily build a better or a similar rig..like..this..
its only the brand name..and the looks...
and i dont think..a person who is capable of earning so much money that he can afford this rig..has no brains !!

 

[x86]

I wish.. I wish .. I wish my dad was Mr Mittal.... :/

 

[spyral]

I dont really think these rigs are for people with more money than brains.

Agreed your paying a pretty massive premium for something you can build yourself but there is no way you can get close to the organization and build quality of either of these rigs (barring you put in an insane amount of time and probably a shitload of money anyways). For people with the cash to spare for something like this, it wouldnt make sense putting in the time to build a comparable rig when you can get a stable, guarenteed performance machine right out of the box. Plus theres the service and upgrade plans.

For alot of us, theres a whole different pleasure in building the machine before using it. I doubt everyone shares the same interest though
