Alienware's Star Wars PCs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hell-of-a-world-of-warcraft-box dept.

CptnKirk writes "Alienware is now offering their high-end PCs pre-pimped with Star Wars themes. These systems have the usual assortment of configuration options. They're then additionally modded with your choice of Light Side or Dark Side themes. External decals, light kit and desktop theme. They even throw in a membership to the official Star Wars online fan club. I admit, booting the system to "what is your bidding my master", sounds appealing."

    I'm not a fan of the 'community feel'. You see that sort of thing on small forums, and it's just another word for 'cliquey'. Such places are very insular, and it only takes one person to take a dislike to you before you're driven off the entire forum. Luckily slashdot is a big and bloated enough place so that a few people's opinions don't matter. When you lose the popularity you lose the reason to go there. I don't go to slashdot for the stories so much as for the comments. Less people = less comments.

    Go to kuro5hin to find out what it's like when you have a slashdot-esque site with hardly any members. It's practically a desert in website form.
