1. its sooo much cheaper to build your own
2. It truly depends on your needs, the first one would be a decent, but likely overpriced gaming and multimedia platform. While the Alienware would be an excellent workstation, and it's graphics would be excellent at modeling and work applications, but would not fare very well at gaming.
3. If you lack the handy skills to build your own go alien, or Falcon NW. Personally I prefer a good ole' whitebox.
