I love it when a good company gets some nice press.

Nice to see a good company getting good press, but worrying to see how much people will spend on a name.
I could build any of their rigs for half the price they sell them, pretty cases though.

Very very true. Hell my system is somewhat better then some of the the low-end models and did not REMOTELY cost me what they sell them for.
The only rig I’d buy from Alienware is a laptop. You can’t beat the quality and performance.
I’ve seen cases built to look like anything from a biohazard box to a teddy bear. Alienware is great for gamers that don’t know how to build their own system and too lazy to try.
But when the market is flooded with ugly slow and badly made off the shelf computers like HP and whatever else there is, it’s easy to see how Alienware stands above the rest.
I live by “You get what you pay for” Of course this doesn’t include stuff you build yourself.
Falcon is better
I agree Gil.
Only place I know you can spend more on a computer then a car and not get your money’s worth.
Still, if I won the lottery, I’d buy 5 of em.
If i had the money to throw around Id do it… Its like owning a ferrari, okay we know there hawt, fast and cost a lot but they dont offer anything better to a law dominated society with speed limits.
I built my own computer for about 750$ canadian and put it together with a friend. If i customed it on Alienware.com it would cost 1150.98 US$ taking in mind their’s a slight difference in graphics card.
I bought an Alienware system a few years back. Quite over-priced. Get what you pay for? Then why did I have to re-install Windows to connect to the internet. I remember these things.
Quite overrated.
My last system came from ibuypower per my specifications. I don’t recommend them either. The videocard brand they chose has a tendency to overheat (I sent back the first one, but the problems continued with the replacement and I just gave up), I had to open my case and re-connect the power-supply to the CD-Drive when I bought it, and the problems have continued from there.
My advice is always to do-it-yourself. If you don’t know how, learn. You’re just going to end up sending it back in anyway. Might as well learn how to perform the maintenance yourself.
