Not sure whether this goes under PSW or G&C, but...

Well I am in the market for a new PC. Maybe I'll spend a little extra and get one of those Alien Wares.

Gut a G5 and stick it in the alienware case. Or just paint a Mac Mini.

Hey, that'd be sweet! Enclose a Mac Mini in a Darth Vader helmet! Ports come out of the neck, disks pop out of the head!

Praxis! I like the way you think

And your sig banners are nice too

ty

BTW is it just me, or does the first alienware picture look like Lord Dark Helmet?

alternatively, you could grab a system from falcon northwest and get any image you want painted on the case. admittedly the really nice systems cost an arm and a leg, but damn they're worth it.

What the Hell are those things actually supposed to be?

I can get that they're PC cases, but I can't figure out what their actual shape is...

We're looking at them side on, if that's any help.

I can figure that out: I'm not stupid, afterall.

I just can't tell what their overall form is.

You're looking at two machines in each picture, Spanky, with each machine showing the paint scheme on that side of the case.

If you figured that part out already too, then I'm not sure what the trouble is. It's a more or less standard tower, with a bit of curving thrown in.

Well, It's called "Alien Ware" and when you look at it head on, the cooling vents look like Alien Eyes.

It's a standard Alienware Aurora (AMD 64 w00t) with a Star Wars paint scheme.

OH, did I mention they are giving these out in a contest?

Hooray!! Praxis actually answered my God damn question!!

Thanks, Praxis. And no thanks to the rest of you.

It took several posts for anyone to figure out what Spankers was asking? Holy shit, that's funny.

I for one, while each design is kick ass, would like to have one tower that combines all four images. One side is the dark side, and the other light side. I looked at the image, and you could easily mesh them together. The Dark side would be harder because of the troopers, but I have a few ideas to fix that. Still rocking ass designs.

Goddammit, now I want one. Given my lack of spare funds, especially in that amount, I'll just have to hope to win the contest.

Deathstalker · Post by **Deathstalker** » 2005-04-23 03:49am

**Deathstalker pat's his current Alienware** My "TinyGod" is safe for now, as I am wholly broke after paying for graduate classes, but have to say those cases are awesome. The hardest part would be deciding which case to choose.

I had to bust out laughing when I read that, regardless of the context. Of all people.

Those are pretty cool.

I actually entered into a drawing to win one of those down here at Celebration III.

I hope I win. It's the only way i'll ever get one of those.
