Will definitely do. I may even do a Youtube unboxing clip, with that 300 soundtrack in the background. Or maybe the Sprach Zarathustra for added effect. tongue.gif
Computers are non-taxable items.

The package has departed Leipzig, Germany on its way to Hong Kong at 0700 this morning.

Also had just did a little bit of shopping in preparation of the arrival of the Alienware, namely these items:-

1 x Crysis Special Edition
1 x Crysis Warhead
1 x Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars
1 x Command & Conquer Kane's Wrath
1 x The Witcher Enhanced Edition
1 x Command & Conquer Red Alert 3
1 x Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse + Free 1 x Razer Gaming Mouse Mat "Control" Edition

Will be heading out tomorrow to get Far Cry 2, and am feverishly waiting for Fallout 3. Are there any other games that would put the Alienware to work? I was contemplating Call of Duty 4, but I've already finished the game on PS3, and don't feel like buying the PC edition, with its sequel, Call of Duty World at War coming out so soon. Any other suggestion/recommendations besides the usual 3dMark06, CPU-Z, SuperPI, etc?

I heard Far Cry 2 dont really worth your money.My friend got a copy and he say STALKER is better.There are 2 games for STALKER,one call Shadow of Chenobly and Clear Sky.Highly recommended.

It's hard but the atmosphere feels great.Not exactly a good way to push your com to maximum but it's definitely a good game to play.

FO3,if i were you,i would just avoid it.The fans hate it so much.

Company of Heroes and it's expansion,Opposing Fronts is also a good game.Looks great and have loads of fun.

GRiD and DiRT is also good racing games.

Yup, why not? Forgotten about that already. Alienware does include a 72 hour period of burning-in of the notebook, that is part of the 200-points checklist. They would already posted the results on that leather folder included, along with other benchmarks such as 3DMark06 they did beforehand.
Checked into DHL again, Package has arrived in Hong Kong close to midnight a hour ago. If there are not complications, I hope it would catch the first flight out and be here by afternoon, and be in the delivery van for sendoff this evening. Please arrive before I go to work! cry.gif
Isn't Stalker an old game? I've sidelined that in favour of other games before, so I'm hesitant to pick that up now. Far Cry2 looks ultra-gorgeous from the screenshots, plus it has the most intuitive benchmarking section built-in. Those who had grown up on the old Far Cry will find it a different beast altogether because of the even more open-endedness of it, but I'm up for for some non-linear goodness. FallOut3 got glowing reviews from almost all reviewers, I just checked Metacritic. Are you sure it is that bad?

The FO fans hate it from top to bottom,left to right.

Who you gonna believe? Hardcore fans or the so-called game reviewers. FYI,game reviews these days are untrustable these days.Most of them are bribed to say only the good stuff about it.

It's up to you anyway.I find that,games with better graphics these days are more like tech demo than a game.I dont bother trying them at all.Definitely avoid Fall Out 3.

Dead Space is a must for me,though.

what else they can make? that is their source income. so its better to give "good" review instead of it.

game nowadays to techy for me. but i shall wait for upcoming Diablo3 and StarCraft 2. Since im fan of Blizzard product.

Yeah,but not to the extend where they overlook all the bad stuff and keep on praising the good stuff.

If all the reviews are like that,whats the point of reading a review?
