Where are you going for your next gaming computer or laptop?

When it's time to replace the whole computer, I'll buy whatever this year's big-box kit is, typically a Dell but sometimes an HP. I'll upgrade the hell out of the memory and, most importantly, the graphics card. Clock the processor if you want, it doesn't make a big dif to me.

I plug the tower into my 36in wall-mounted plasma TV and *poof* there's the monitor. The monitor that came with the package will get used as a secondary screen for doing random BS while gaming such as homework or e-mail. Be advised, many games can take their tole on TVs this way, but **** it.

I have a Logitech wireless roller-ball mouse, but I've been playing with a pen-mouse for the left hand and other crazy controllers.

I like a keyboard which lights up in some fashion so I can see while it's dark and the kids are sleeping.

A quick trip to Download.com, a while to let all the programs kick out all the commercial bull**** the manufacturer put in there (Semantic sux), load the WoW client software and make a full recovery backup on my external drive and I'm good to go.

Same place I've been for my last two desktops:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

I'm Moslty a business user but this seller enables you to make just about anything.
The above app what I'd get now, but don't need it yet as a year ago I upgraded a 2+ year old computer I got from him with a better Graphics Card/W7/Intel G2 SSD/more mem. Now 3.5 yrs old but very fast
I'll think about a new machine after W8 comes out at the end of this year but don't need one barring some stunning new app.

No need to build. Just configure your way to 6K if you want. Have fun.

Alienware is probably my next venue for purchase. I hate Dell (long story) but according to everyone I've ever talked to about this, Alienware knows it's ****. Also Asus has screwed me twice, so what other option do I have?
