Maybe you just knocked somthing loose or something, don't start blaming Alienware before you know for sure. Unplug everything and start from scratch.
I don't see how I could accidently knock something loose in all 3 computers that causes all 3 computers to have the exact same problem :s

Maybe its cause your house has a weak connection or try running them one at a time. If it starts then it must be something you did wrong cause very rarely they recieve bad reviews and if they do its from a person that knows nothing about computers. You kind of fit in that category.

To all you guys who are critical about him paying $4,000 each for these computers, are you paying attention?

You cannot ... I repeat ... cannot get these cool aliens on the front of one of your "home built" computers.   That's the reason they cost so much more.  You get what you pay for.

All the rest of you are just upset that you have to look at your bland computers.  They might have a light in them, sure, but no alien ... I'm right, aren't I?????  Admit it ....

have you connected the monitors correctly? if not you wont see much except you aliens lighting up
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

I just priced out a similar system, if anything better (I used the FX-62, 750GB barracuda and a X-Fi soundcard), on Tigerdirect and it only came to just shy of $3500 Canadian

12 months ago, i bought my Velocity Micro Raptor for $7,000 USD.  probably the best purchase i've ever made (besides pusswa, of course).  it was paid for by the US Government.

Overpaid for it. Why didnt you try just ONE. find out how that goes, and go from there.Build your own. It's alot easier than you might think. I built and SLI AMD sweet piece by myself, and ive never built a computer ever before...

I would never buy a custom computer build, but you tale of woe lets me know what to say about Alienware should anyone ask....

You're all fools for spending large amounts of money on customs and store boughts. Get an abacus. Or better, yet, build one at home. It's always better to make it yourself and it's easy.
