Every single World of Warcraft addict player is either a member of the Alliance or of the Horde. But regardless of allegiances, every player wants to get the best possible gameplay experience by having the best hardware system possible. In this case, AlienWare PC units are probably one of the most suitable systems out there today.

No, we're not selling AlienWare items, and no, they're not paying us for this. It's just that the company has teamed up with Blizzard on various occasions now whenever the latter comes up with contests and competitions. Anyway, AlienWare recently announced that these units have been customized for players depending on the side they're playing for.

 Here now are the specs of an AlienWare WoW PC:

• Windows Vista Home Premium
• Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
• Dual 640MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS
• Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
• Exclusive AlienFX lighting control
• 2GB DDR2 PC-6400 SDRAM at 800MHz
• 500GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7,200 RPM
• Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard
• Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse

Also, these systems come in either blue or red. Just imagine being with the Horde and playing with a blue unit. It just feels weird. Anyway, try your luck in those contests and you might win one of these. If you aren't so lucky, you can still get them for £ 2,499.22 or US$ 4,870. These AlienWare PCs will be shipped starting March 5.

 

This bit of WoW news is for you folks living in Europe. No, it's not about another migration alert or whatnot, it's about the contests that Blizzard's preparing in light of the WoW's  2nd Year Anniversary in Europe.

They've got two contest ready for you folks, a World of Warcraft Lore contest, wherein any smartypants WoW player can get a chance to win an AlienWare PC, and a World of Warcraft Wallpaper Contest, wherein any artsy-fartsy schmo can get a chance to win (you guessed it) an AlienWare PC.

For more details on their contest feel free to use our read-link below. Just be sure that you get an entry in early because both contests end on February 27, 2007. Enjoy!
