I would, like Mikal, like a green Alienware.

[SaucE]

I would personally rather build the system myself. Get the exact parts I want.

[CoolJsa14]

If i had 12,000 dollars id get it too, wait, no id probably use the money for something better than a computer.

[Waka-Gashira]

If I had that kind of money I would build a PC myself and use good parts that are resonably priced, not 12 G's worth of PC. However, if I had to choose an already built system I would want a autobahn white Voodoo F1.

Good idea for somebody that knows exactly what they want and need. But, for someone such as myself, it doesn't really matter.
