Yea, you need to do something with all those shortcuts. Nice LCD's but they're too small. The case is too flamboyant. I don't like to dress up my cases. I like subdued power instead. Alienware kicks ass, period.
Here is my rig:
Since we're all showing off here...
Here's some pictures of my dual XEON Alienware MJ-12 system.

The dual LCD monitors are 20" NEC Multisync 2080UX ($1600 each),
Gigabit ethernet, 2 GB RAM, two 120 GB hard drives, Sound Blaster Audigy,
Nvidia Quatro4 980XGL video card, Pioneer DVR-105 burner.
I L-O-V-E this thing. Total cost of this system
(including Klipsch speakers and monitors) $7200.
You can see the Veo network camera at the top left. You can't quite see the
Axis network camera behind me (about $1000).
The network equipment on the left side of the left monitor is all
Linksys(Cisco) equipment. I will list them below.
Bottom to top:
Etherfast 10/100 3-port print server (EPSX3)
4 port Etherfast Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41)
4 port Wireless-G Broadband Router (WRT54G)
16 port 10/100 Workgroup Switch (EZXS16W)
8 port 10/100 Workgroup Switch (EZXS88W)
My Alienware is multihomed. It is on both of my internal networks (192.168.110.x (wired) and 192.168.0.x (wireless)).
The little PDA to the bottom right of the right monitor is a 400Mhz Dell Axim in its docking station.
