Alienware makes one heck of a gaming computer.
basically you want a computer that has a large amount of memory
separate video and sound cards with large amount of memory
a fast chip, amd is my preference, but intel is ok.
if you go with amd a 3200+ minimum, anything 64 bit will work, and intel make sure that it's a hyperthreading chip and you will be fine. getting the 3ghz celeron is NOT okay, the 3ghz celeron is equal to the 386 that I have in my basement (not hooked up, just never thrown out). well, maybe not equal, the 386 may be faster then the celeron.
People that build here can give you the actual model #'s of the items to get, and then just borrow a friends windows disk. I use windows 2000 professional on half of my computers, and XP pro on the others. they both have their ups and downs, Using NT on one of mine and it sucks, but it's only storage now.
I will post a pic of my desk tomorrow, nothing special tho.
