An iMac for the Gaming Elite

When I think of an all-in-one computer, what immediately comes to mind is MIND-BLOWING GAMING MACHINE!!! How about you? Defying everything we've come to expect about the all-in-one PC category (pioneered by the Apple iMac and littered with the corpses of dead competitors from virtually every PC company on the planet), the latest entry into the category comes from -- of all people -- Alienware, best known for its high-end, high-priced gaming computers.

The Alienware 5400 has the guts of a laptop -- Pentium M CPU, up to 2GB of RAM, Nvidia 6600 graphics card, and up to a 160GB hard drive. It even looks like a laptop… turned inside out and with a handle on top. A wireless keyboard stows conveniently under the unit when not in use. In a curious twist, it's even got a battery inside that lets you use the computer unplugged -- or as a rudimentary UPS when the power goes out.

I have this computer. Regardless if you play computer games or not, i recommend this. It loads in less than 1 second for everything.

How about having a printer build into the sistem, so you only have to cary one object and no excessory's involved?

stup looking logo. Apple always wins on so many fronts. What an ugly POS.

What.....no 7800?........Apple will never compare to pc's in the gaming industry. 6600's are pretty much worthless now. To play games like hl2, doom 3, and fear you need a minimum 6800 or atleast two 6600's. I call it a flop.
