Have you won the lottery recently, hit your mid-life crisis or generally have a ton of cash doing nothing? Well, why not blow a chunk of change at Alienware. Yes, I got bored and looked at the UK site to see what kind of potential damage I could do.

Well, how about £10,323.15? (That’s $20,591.48) On a single PC….

Of course, how could a sane person spend so much money on one PC!? Well, by adding lots of stuff that you don’t need or really want for the expense value alone. Like a watch, mug, all possible game controllers, and MS Office Professional 2007. In German. It could have been potentially worse, but I decided not to include things that wouldn’t fit in, such as if there are too many drives or cards in the back.

To see what I could have “Bought” had I the finances and the nature to blow so much cash, come on through to the other side…
