PC One don't carry enough components, you spec the machine on the Alienware site, then take that spec to the. They arrange to import of the machine from states, shipping, customes etc.

The shop outside the Sofitel that bleu might be refering to is around the back, away from the main road, Gigabyte I think, and that is the brand they stock, had a lot of over priced liquid cooled cases last time I looked.

@ Absolutejaguar.

PC One. haa. i've seen that place before.

but what did you mean import an Alienware machine for me. can't they assemble one for me with the same specs and configurations.

if they import it for me. what if there's any mistake , what about Warranty or something?

i'll check em out sometime.

..

@ Bleu

There a shop facing Sofitel that stocks some good parts (Outside - don't remember the name, but it's the only one).

A few years ago, I got the motherboard, case, power supply, graphics adapter.... from them . I still had to get my Core2Extreme online (My cpu alone was ~$1200).

I would not trust the Sofitel one bit. Fine for cheap cheap junk but not high end computer gear.

I'd also like to get a gaming rig. 2 options I've seen are an Alienware M15X laptop at Jarir Bookstore and PC One on Salwa Road will import and Alienware machine for you if you take a print out of the specs to them.
