Hi....I've just recently bought an area 51-5500 (alienware, just gotta wait for the buggers to deliver it), and in turn i would like to up grade it sometime (you know, the works:hard drive, graphics card etc), and i was wondering if there are any magazines out there (computer magazines) that will tell me how to upgrade and install stuff etc (and in plain english) and tell me whats what when i'm buying parts for my comp...If there's any one out there that can help, i would be forever greatful...
