rich mens toys 
the premium is big on them
although if you can afford it, the build quailty is top notch
(and if you can afford it, my fee is 5% =D)

Thanks for the help. I take it alienware are good then they seem trustworthy and the people at gamespot use them. Are there any other good places that i could get them to build me a good pc from that any of you know? Are there any good places in scotland that you can get custom built pcs from?

What difference does a more powerful powersupply make, does the performance of your PC vastly increase with a more powerful PSU and same result with certain makes? Or is it just personal preferance?
