I want opinions on the best computer of the three. And if your posting, back up your opinions with experiences, or hard fact. thanks guys.

And Im asking this, because Im considering buying a second desktop. Just for kicks. But I want the best possible, so I figured I would consult you fine people. And no, Im not mocking anyone.

I think all three companies are not that much different as per computer specifications, you can get pretty much the best you can for your system. However, Falcon Northwest does offer some cool custom casing options which is a bonus.

I actually kinda like the case that alienware has a little bit better, though Falcons and Voodoos are all ALU, Alienware also has the AlienIce Video cooling system, and now, Accoustic dampening.

Well, I've never dealt with Voodoo, but like I said, I've had tons of experience with Alienware systems, and I've never been let down. I did read an article in PC Gamer mag about that "totally silent" case. The problem is that the whole case is the heat sink, but because of this, the components run quite warm, and Voodoo warns against overclocking. Now, for that little extra power of overclocking, I'd have to deal with a little noise. My personal TT case is very quite, I even sleep with the thing on, so that goes to show just how silent it is. But, I really love the fact that Alienware has comeout with out of the box water cooling. That is AWSOME!

he didn't mention overclocking...

not only that, but just because you sleep with it on doesn't mean it's super quiet.. some people sleep with delta fans going...

and yes, OOTB h2o is cool for noobs :P
