Contest: Win a $3000+ Total War-capable Alienware Gaming Laptop

176
So you wanted to win Empire: Total War in our last contest, but didn't have a computer powerful enough to play it anyway. Most PC gamers have been in that situation at least once. But Shacknews is here to bail you out.

Thanks to Sega and Alienware, we're giving away a crazy Alienware m17x gaming laptop to one random winner. How crazy is this thing? It has two Nvidia 9800M GT 512MB graphics cards running in SLI mode--and a built-in subwoofer. Yeah, it's one of those laptops. And the beastly machine is valued at a staggering $3400. Other notable features include the 17" WUXGA widescreen monitor, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz processor, HDMI/TOSlink out, integrated HDTV tuner, and full-scale, glow-in-the-dark keyboard for those late-night Empire: Total War sessions. Oh, plus an Alienware hat. $3401.

So how do you enter? Leave a comment on this story--nice and simple. Don't bother leaving more than one comment, as that won't increase your odds. Do get your friends to enter, though. Entries will be accepted through the weekend.
