If I got it I'd end up modifing it to try to play something other than FFXI(depends on if just opening the case voids the warenty...just in case things like the HDD or the moterboard die)

I could use a halfway decent PC...heck I don't even have a PC right now XD

I don't need a free computer or the money I'd get from selling it. I'm not disparaging the contest, just saying that I have no interest in an Alienware PC. I don't see what's so wrong about me saying that.

Sheesh murphie. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. :p

I don't see why you guys are nitpicking a contest. Everything's cut and dry. A contest is a contest. Enter it, and you'll have a chance of winning a computer. Nobody said anything that this is the computer of the century with top-of-the-line specifications. It's a computer made by a respectable company. If you don't want to enter it, then don't.

I just hope theres no big Dell logo in the front...

But I did say something nice. I said it sounded like a cool contest regardless of my interest in the reward. I'm not sure why everyone got on my case about it, because if anything, my lack of interest in the reward is good news for anyone who does want it.

(inserts tongue-in-cheek)
And that's the problem Murphie. It's a binary situation -- you either get enthused about all aspects of the contest, or you're a gil selling curmudgeon.

There's no gray area here.

Mog, I just quoted it is a low spec comapred to other alien ware machines. No big there, just a fact, my jibe was that its an international forum, yet a competition is posted only allowing US and canadian citizens to take part, which basically voids at least 4/10ths of this forum, to which Nelsen agreed and said hes tied by laws, one of tehm will be the competition laws, as the Uk and Europe have alot stricter and more stringent laws and rules than the US for competitions.
