I was looking at the Alienware website, specifically on their big Aurora desktop. I was wondering, is it actually overpriced? At some specs it looks like its ridicilously expensive but I was wondering...is it actually that overpriced or are the internals/externals really that expensive? So I'll throw down some specs and a price and if anyone could come up with something and tell me if its more or less an OK price for those specs or is it just really incredibly overpriced

Taking into account the 1 year warranty, virtual/remote diagnosis, in-home repair services, the fact that its branded+pre-built, the arguably sexy case with the LEDs, and remembering it is liquid-cooling, is 2.9k dollars an OK price for this?
