My home/work PC died, so I picked up this Alienware Aurora Desktop.  I have to say I *really* like it so far.  

![Expensive?  Yes.  Worth it in my opinion?  Yes.](aliens.jpg)

It's freakin' fast, and the GPU serves two purposes: shredding password hashes for work by day, and serving up PC games for fun at night!

I know Dells are a bit more than the average desktop, and someone will point out "You could've built one for much cheaper!"  And I will always love wandering aimlessly around [Micro Center](https://www.microcenter.com/), geeking out on computer hardware and talking endlessly to the lovely high school nerds Worth have 10x more knowledge about computers than I'll ever have.  But I finally feel like I'm too old to mess around with having to bring something back to Micro Center HQ for troubleshooting/repair because a 7-10 day turnaround time just won't cut it for me anymore now that I use my PC for fun *and* business.
