I'm speechless to find out that kind of thing is going on, and didn't mean to offend anyone if I was dissing their machines. If people are toting these things around to conventions so they can to show them off, good for them!
(I would personally rather carry a laptop, but that's just me.) This debate has really made me want to check out one of these machines for myself. My cousin Charlie bought an Alienware custom P4 3Ghz about a month ago for $4500 and thinks it is the fastest, most hardcore machine there is. He will be at my apartment tonight, and I am going to try to talk him into bringing his investment over (since now I can tell him everyone is doing it). I will put it up against the AMD 2200+ with the 1.5 GB RAM and the NVIDIA 4600 I use for development to see how they compare. My box cost about $1500 to build (including the $25 case), and it is an excellent machine that will give this AW P4 3.0 Mhz box a run for its money. I will post my findings afterwards, and let everyone know based on my firsthand experience if the $3000 price difference was worth it, or if you really are just being Blinged on performance.

Seriously you should look in to LAN parties and hack/tech conventions.
