Congratz Alkalye.

Addie Jan 1st 2008 7:39PM
Hey - somebody count all the votes and see if there were more Horde!
doug Jan 1st 2008 7:40PM
Congrats on winning [Dell XPS M1730]
Dachande Jan 1st 2008 8:06PM
I almost clicked it. ;)
Congrats to Alkalye, though! You're the envy of quite a few WoW enthusiasts. :)
WickedGoddess Jan 1st 2008 7:56PM
Gratz!

Hey as long is it went Horde, I can't complain.

On the topic of computers......was hoping one of your "PC savvy" writers would take upon the topic on how to build your own WoW gaming PC. Each blog can focus on specific needs: the $1000 WoW PC, the ghetto bare-to-the-bones pc, and your Ultimate WoW PC system (well, as of today's technology). I'm currently running on a 2ghz macbook w/ 2gb ram & i can bearly run 3-4 addons w/ most of graphics on low setting. And i still get bigtime lag on large cities and multiple mob encounters. I would love to hear about what writers and experienced PC readers have to say on this subject since you really can't "build" a mac from scratch. Thanks for reading & Happy New Year to all WoW Insider & our "little" WoW community :D

This would be awesome, I know I'm looking to build a new system, especially for gaming. I kind of know where to start, but as far as what is the best among the parts, I have no idea. I'd love to hear from the more parts savvy writers.

Laptops usually have their performances turned down to save power. You should try tuning up the performance, there's probably some menu for that, but i'm not really familiar with Macbooks (they're great though ;)).
2 gigs should be more then enough to play WoW, so may I ask what kind of videocard you've got in there?
Vishop Jan 2nd 2008 10:08AM
I built my current rig from scratch, C2D, 2Gb Ram, Geforce 7950GT, 400gb HD, for about $800 total, and that was with splurging a bit on a nicer case. It runs WoW at about 60frames, and can fraps at about 20-30. slickdeals.net is a godsend :D

Congratulations. See it's HORDE FTW!!!!!!
overneathe Jan 1st 2008 9:06PM
Congratulations on yet another american winner of a couple thousand dollar price. :]
But no, really, Congratz. :]
Saiforune Jan 1st 2008 9:13PM
Gratz and.....
GLORY TO THE ALLIANCE!!!
P.S. I think we should all Vote that in for new saying.
jumb Jan 1st 2008 10:05PM
what number post was it that won?
Garter89 Jan 1st 2008 10:10PM
I DEMAND A RECOUNT!
Nah... grats, I would have gone with horde too.
dimmak Jan 2nd 2008 1:00AM
Grats dude, sweet rig.
Now I propose we mourn those who left
"E-Mail me when someone replies to this comment" checked.
WOESZ Jan 2nd 2008 4:21AM
I don't think anyone replied much to any single comment... it's not like you get an email for every comment left for that post.
Oh.. and, FOR THE HORDE!!!!!!!!
You alliance can keep trying to come up with a slogan, it just makes us laugh... you guys are so pathetically adorable.
