2 blondes are on a roadtrip to Disneyland. They saw a sign that said "Disneyland Left" so they went home.

What do you call a dead blonde in a cupboard? Last years hide and seek winner.

Crotch rockets are neat.

I doubt you'll find a Skyline since 2 Fast 2 Furious is freaking lame and you can't just go to some stuffty car lot and find a Skyline.

In New Zealand, there's not many skylines, but they are really liked over here and are imported quite a lot, and are easy to find.
Go to www.trademe.co.nz and go to Used Cars, you'll see what I mean. Lots of skylines.
We have a lot of 'boy racers' and 'skidders' over here and they are common because of the RB20/RB26 engines.
I really love them, but because they are really quite common, I won't get one, I'll get an old 180SX, put an old Silvia S13 front end on it (sileighty(sil80)) and put the RB26DETT engine in it, and beat the skyliners in a better looking car :D

On topic, I would save the money for now and wait for the next generation of hardware in the coming year or two.
Your current rig isn't exactly pressing for an upgrade, but either way you will probably get the most bang for your buck by waiting a little longer.

Bulldozer in 15 days and Ivy Bridge god knows when.

Also, Adobe AE didn't turn out to be what I needed to use it, so I went with windows movie maker.

In no way and for no function is WMM better than AfterEffects.

Lol.

I made a desktop using custom parts for $650, most from Alienware.

Reason why you might keep it at 4.1 or lower is because the machine is hecka loud. (Plus I never need that much)

It's amazing that they don't use watercooling for that then.
Because watercooling is pretty damn silent.

Also, just overclocking isn't the only thing that makes your computer super super super! as you implied when you suggested Alienware.

'If you have $2000 to burn.' You can overclock it at 4.1ghtz or some stuff. That's normal, it's quite easy to reach 4.5GHz on water.
And I know, it sucks that DELL bought Alienware. Still. They are generally built bad, so I wouldn't recommend them.
Oh and 6GB RAM. Might be a bit overkill in some cases. For a $2k build, you'd at least expect 12GB. And yes it's overkill, but so is $2k. Also for your little Alienware, apparently it costs $350 to upgrade from 6GB to 12GB RAM of the same speed. That's unjustifiable. Even the most expensive upgrade of the speed it needed was $75 manually.
You can still build one for below $1000 if you can build stuff. Yeah.

If you have $2000 to burn, and you're looking for a gaming rig, 'Alienware Aurora Desktop.'

No.
Overpriced, stuffty quality, just a big classic Dell marketing scheme that relies on the gullibility of their customers.

It's definitely definitely not worth doing. You'd seriously end up with a tiny bit more performance wise. It would not be worth it, trust me.
What I suggest if you really want to do something, is upgrade the case, add a SSD and some more RAM, and maybe eventually either quadfire some 6950s for really awesome oomph, or sell and get some 6990s or 3 or 4 6970s, unless you're an nVidia fanboy. I personally have had nothing but bad luck when it comes to nVidia products.
But like Nick said, wait for new technology. Bulldozer processors are coming out in about 15 days and could likely be more powerful than any Intel processor, and with them will come the Radeon HD7000 range.

Sorry for major bump but I already updated my graphics chip on Intel website plus Intel Craphics (What I call them) Card is something that you should never mess with. If something screw up, PC lits on fire and you would have to kiss your house good bye and welcome yourself into the hobo world.

You obviously know nothing about computers.
You've gotta always update your graphics, at least once every 3 or so months.
If you don't want me to help, don't start co-operating.
