PC Magazine does comparisons of their new boxes about every 3 months. You may want to look there for a scientific answer.

The experts here may have first hand knowledge as well.

I just think the Alienware ones look the coolest. They also use AMD processors, which is cool.

Tech TV compared them.You can check it out Here
Its funny theres $2k difference between Alien Ware and Voodoo,and they have the same components and should run preaty much Identical in benchmarks.

You may (or may not) be surprised to learn that these uber-systems, with prices ranging from $3,000 to $5,000, offer practically identical gaming performance.

Personally I'd rather build my own.But if I were to buy one I'd get alien ware,they look very nice and they're cheaper than the others.

IMO, the uberaward goes to Voodoo. Falcon gets second, and Alienware sucks!

Seriously, i would never consider buying from any of them. Save yourself the dough and build yer own rig.

Yea, if you want a gaming setup build your own, its not like you want to build an Xbox or somthing. Its just a computer with the fasted parts the consumer can get his hands on.

Besides paying a buddy of yours $20 to build it for you, I would get the cheapest. (which I don't know)

Voodoo would be my favorite cause they just seem like awesome computers to impress people with at Lan's. Everyone has an Alienware.

If you want the best, I mean a company that forges new technologies and doesn't just take retail products and throw them in a pretty case then The L Store (http://www.go-l.com/store/)is for you. It isn't cheap but is the best. From microfreezers, Win XP modifications to solid state storage with 5gbs transfer rates, it has it all. Espeicially look at the Hollywood Gold Laptop, it is truely unmatched.
