I built my last rig but this time around i didnt feel like going thru it again so i just ordered one. First of all im amazed at how cheap technolgy is compared to when i built my rig. Got a pretty decent system (all i play is WoW anyway) including the following.

AMD Athlon X2 5600+ Black Edition @ 2.9 GHz

4GB Corsair DDR2 SDRAM

CrossFireX Dual ATI Radeon HD 4670 (512MB each)

1TB Hard Drive (lots of music and movies)

Some service stuff keyboard mouse ect for around $1300 came about 5 days after i placed the order and i have to say im pretty pleased. There are def wayyyyy better systems out there but for the price and no hassle of ordering parts and putting it all together/trouble shooting cant go wrong. Plus is just looks really cool and the Alienware lighting system is fun to play with

So over the past couple weeks I have been watching a different anime film every week. Ive jumped all over the place from Cowboy Bebop, Ghost, and most recently Princess Mononoke. This past week i have been watching Hayao Miyazaki films exclusivly there is a reason why he is conisdered a master. If you like anime you HAVE to watch, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Howls Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, and Kiki's Delivery Service. These are great films with strong characters and enough depth to keep you thinking.

Other anime favorites of mine include: Metropolis, Akira (duh), Ninja Scroll, Perfect Blue, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.
