Thanks culverSE.
I have a Dell 8200 that I have had for 3 years and have really wanted to get an Alienware for a long time. Just decided what the heck, can pay on it just as well as go buy something else and pay on that. Gaming is my main hobby afterhours so I decided to go for it. Took me about a week of filling in the online configuration to get the guts to hit the "Place Order" button. Told my wife my mouse cursor was hoovering around the Place Order button and I accidently hit it by mistake. For those of you who do not know, Alienware has a price reduction similiar to Dell's price match. Within 7 days of ordering my machine, the price dropped $224. Called them up and they credited me back that amount. Credit was on my card yesterday when I checked. So far, they have been great people to deal with. Hope that continues.

Thanks for the info Herman, I'm in the market for a new system but never considred Alienware. Now I might. They're just so expensive, compared to newegg components and building one myself. But I guess it's a niche type thing. Anyone have luck getting the skin suite yet?

Alienware has some lower cost PC solutions that still pack a punch. You should check them out. Nice stuff.
Carol: thanks for the really kind words.
People: this will get fixed you just need to be patient.

we'll see about the add-ons. Once this all settles in nicely, maybe i'll talk to alienware about letting some users show me their versions of bootskins etc. and maybe if they're good i could talk Alienware into letting them be released. Let's just make sure everyone gets the suite first and worry about the rest later on.

Wow, that was a five hour download. Finally got it. I guess one thing I learned about working with computers is patience.

Top skin, have Alienware machine so this is a bonus...
Header bar is a bit too chunky for my liking and the skin overlaps with a dual monitor setup, oh and the radio buttons don't work...can't use it with Alienware's own website...
A flat button version seems a must...
The icons however are the nutz, should be released as a separate pack...

Strange, the download pop-up leads to nothing after clicking the download button.

Well, the download pop-up does not seem to do a lot of things, does it? 
Hopefully, that will be fixed at some point in time or at least there will be an explaination, I must have been registered 5 times for their newsletter.
If it is a shameless way of harvesting e-mails for spam, it sure is working and it is quite sad that the talented artists of the Skins factory get dragged along.

*******************PLEASE READ*****************
Alienware is experiencing extremely heavy download volumes. One might say, they are paying the price of success!
Once you have entered your email address, you are supposed to get a pop-up that lets you download then Suite. But with hundreds, maybe thousands of simultaneous requests, they are just being overwhelmed.
Alienware is working with Gamespot, IGN, Download.com and other sites to set up mirrors. Please excercise a little patience until the situation is relieved.
Thanks!

I had my Employer purchase an Area 51 last year. He messes with his computers and I have to fix them, so I figured this might help me out a ton.
Well he messed and messed and finally bought himself a new Sony, lastedn one week and he complained to them and sent it back.
But.....
I now have the Alienware!!!
Wiped it clean and started over.
It's absolutey the Bomb!
15,000 rpm scsi hardrive with 3.6 second access time. With all my stuff loaded still boots up completely in about 20 seconds.
Now if I could download this skin, I've been trying for 2 days now
