Get this one instead.
Don't buy Alienware.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've read up on both and can't make up my mind on what would be better unfortunately. I'm leaning toward the Alienware still though since the Asus has some problems with a slightly green tint from what I've read. Other then that I would say that the Alienware is the better gaming monitor while the Asus is the better overall... I'm not actually tech savy though so I'm going to shut my word hole now.

Alienware is overpriced as fuckall.
Here's another one with the same price.
Notice that this and the ASUS are both 27" and the Alienware is 21.5". :b

When my mother gets home from work, she's going to force me to help her work in her garden ._.  I hate gardening, especially weeding, which is exactly what she wants me to do.

I use an air compressor to clean out my computers and never had an issue. Just dont blow on the sensitive bits at point blank range and you should be ok. I agree with vacuums being a bad idea though. They suck  :P
Not just pressure that you need to be concerned about. I'ts common for a compressor to get condensation in the piping. Once you lose a laser to an eletrical fire caused by that, you get cautious.

 That is a good point, surprised I never thought about condensation before.

 Thats true, but I'm used to small screens anyways at this point. 21.5 is not only bigger than my last monitor (around 18" or something) I think It may be near the same size as my tv lol. I'm more worried about performance since I don't want to get another monitor for another 6 years or so. The high price does bother me though...

 I don't mind gardening myself as long as it for food or something else useful. I hate growing things like flowers, shrubs, ect, ect.

Monitor stuffy stuffs.

Highest rated in that size.
That's what I mean by don't buy Alienware. :b
You'd be paying for the brand, not the quality.

I bought an Alienware PC once.  That was pretty dumb.

Feeling fairly depressed about everything. Not sure what the hell I should do now. Probably going to attempt to forget my troubles by gaming again, usually works after a little while.

As for Alienware, I look at their PCs to see what's in the most expensive one, then check out how much it would cost to get the same components in a less silly looking case. Much better plan than actually buying the stupid things.

 I thought about it once, it was liquid cooled if I remember right. Still think thats cool (lol, pun) for some reason. Eventually I settled on making one with my dad, more my dad making it though lol. Thats how I ended up with a computer twice as big as normal ones. Damn thing is pretty much covered in fans, 3 or so in the back, 3 in the front, and a giant one on top. So yeah, I never plan on buying a prebuilt computer again.

I might buy something from Boxx someday, if I have plenty of money to throw around in the midst of a successful digital art career.  That's the only scenario I can think of where I'd ever buy a pre-built again.

My niece was dedicated to God today; basically a baptism, except that whatever denomination this church is doesn't like baptism, so they changed the name. Anyway, my niece is about six months old, and whilst I appreciate people's right to religion, I don't like that people have the right to their child's religion. The service involved a lot of talk about 'giving her back to God', which just irks me; she's her own person.

Hmph.

Also, it was incredibly awkward standing in the back of a church wearing a leather trenchcoat and trying not to deathstare the pastor.

Our toilet broke or something. The hose popped off the cistern, it looks like, and sprayed water everywhere. I looked and don't know what to do with it and I don't think I have the money for a plumber. Huh...
Also, my sister dropped the microwave plate. I was called to help so I went and put on my slippers just as my mom told me that our cat peed on my slippers and my sister knocked over the place because she put it down to punish the cat for doing that, but he resisted and caused her to bump into the plate.
No microwave and no toilet... :\
