Honestly the Alienware that you are looking at isn't really worth it for the price. The Alienware that you linked is more of a mobile platform or console type setup than a gaming rig. Personally I don't have a problem with Alienware, however if you think about it, you will have to replace this thing in a year or two because it just won't be able to keep up. It would suck if you got this thing and it turns out it can barely play GTA V or not at all (when it comes out for pc). Then what......you'll be stuck saving up for another computer. Plus the graphics card has ddr3 memory not gddr5 like a normal desktop card, sure it may have 4 gigs but it isn't fast. I strongly suggest and advise that you build your own computer, trust me, I made the mistake of getting a mobile gaming device and I definitely would have rather built my own computer instead of spending $1600 for a mobile gaming device.

Look, I don't want to turn this into a big argument. I'd just like to point out that the creator did state that he would be releasing a different version than the one his clan was using because he wanted his clan to remain unique to all the rest, therefore a "public" or "beta" version would be released with lesser features. Right there, rather or not people or if anyone knew what he was having people test was actually a full version, that wasn't made clear. This encouraged people to crack this thing open and further customize it to their clans needs. The fact that he basically stated he would be holding back some features encouraged this act further, making it worse than it would have been. But everyone has to expect someone to "ruin it", look at the worlds prison system for example...... Look, the creator had his right to take down his work, the way I would look at it though if I were him, my work is out there and other clans are trying to use a more or less "beta" version. Why not turn around and make my next version X times better than what version they've got and just not give them the new one. I'd have clans PM me and have only certain clans with a good track record downloading my system and its further updates. Or create a server side system...... You can't expect the world to stop because someone has ruined something, find a solution instead of giving up. I'm not saying this creator is bad for taking down his work, I'd like to encourage him to move forward and show those hackers who runs the show, don't let an obstacle like this stop you from innovating one of the best roleplay systems on LCPDFR. Do you think it's any different for skinners or modelers?

Yes but the way the creators went about presenting and releasing this system taunted and/or urged "thieves" to do this. If it was released to begin with in a working form with basic functions, either lock it up or release an open source or source code then let people have at it, people would be more willing to reserve credit. The more you restrict, the more you will attract people to break into the code or rewrite it or edit and call it their own, that's just the way the world is, there are always people find ways to get what they want. It isn't a good idea to say or present this awesome system that my clan has and say oh but I'll be releasing "public version" which will be restricted and dumbed down. Then go to communities and go here are your basic functions that aren't as cool as my clans. That's basically what happened, it wasn't done in a direct bragging manner but it was still done in indirect ways. I agree that people should ALWAYS credit authors/devs/creators, their work, their time, they deserve it. However, next time it would be great to say hey I'm having an open beta for a version of this system I made, any communities willing to try it out here ya go. Make it extremely customization for the functions it has so people don't have to "make it their own". ---Do I think that it was in the right of the author to shut down this system? Yes I do, it wasn't all one parties' fault though, however everything could have gone a lot better so everyone could be encouraged to push this idea in a positive direction.

Not everyone looks at the greater good for the lcpdfr community. I believe that this developer and/or project in general was looking for attention and fame. People need to think about the good they can do and the mark they can make rather than what they can do for themselves, you will be rewarded. It doesn't matter if you're the President, Eisenstein, etc. You start something and let other people take it further, no one person or group can do everything, it doesn't matter if it's your idea or time it will come to an end and others will need to pick it up. You may make something, but there is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!!!! someone out there that can and at some point will make it better!!!! Get over it, it's called life. ---How cool would it have been if this developer opened it up for communities, and he/she could watch them build his/her original program into something grand knowing it was his/her original program. But nope, all that was going through the head of the devs were "MINE MINE MINE".

Will your system have the ability to "spawn/create" in-game calls? You mentioned a possible live map feature which I would imagine include a client side script. Possibly you maybe able to spawn/create calls by sending call info to clients resulting in their game automatically spawning them in the multiplayer session?

Great work! This is too cool, keep up the good work! The layout looks nice, it isn't bad looking.

So you are looking for a powerful computer, but not over the top expensive? Are you willing to build one if we sent you links for parts on amazon? Building a computer will definitely give you more bang for your buck. If you just purchase a pre-built one they always tend to be over priced and under powered.

Not everyone likes building their own things. Yes you will end up with a better computer (more bang for your buck) if you build a computer yourself but not everyone wants to go through the 'hassle'. I second Nackatacka though, if you are willing to build your own computer, you should.

The graphics card should be fine to run on medium-high. More than likely high everything (probably could install an low to mid end ENB). If you are thinking about recording, the CPU should be able to keep up since GTA won't be hogging all the cores directly.

That's kinda neat! I want to make a mean lookin 2013-2014 dodge charger >:D

It's messed up but it got a chuckle out of me and a few others I'm sure. Take yourself away from an RP perspective, obviously this is completely unrealistic in every way. But sit back and enjoy a joke.

That was pretty good, I have to say. It got a laugh or two out of me. :p

Lol, good to hear! Hope you guys don't come into much difficulty developing the system, but I know things don't always work as they should or as much as we'd like them to. But then life would be too easy........ and the big man upstairs would get board xD jk :p.

Well, we can wait no problem :p. Most of us probably understand that developing something of that nature is no easy task. We understand that it will take time to develop a version that could be released without dealing with a million bug reports a second and even more people complaining about things that don't or aren't working. And I didn't mean to come off making people think that the GTA Community is 'entitled' to your system, not at all. Its just showing off a really badass system to the LCPDFR community that we can't touch is not cool lol. That's all I meant. Anyways I'll be sure to send any further questions about the system by pm to you.

My statement wasn't directed and you Forward, I'm just saying in general. Let's not discourage the guy, the first model was pretty good. Plus, who cares if there are a million crown vics released, I don't mind, more to choose from. So lets not discourage the guy and tell him he's late in the game and that modders get tired of new crown vics, it doesn't really matter.
