Anyone running CoD on Alienware?

You can't get any better,right?

Yes you can, you can build your own for a third of the price.

I thought Alienware was more than just a combination of the best hardware,but more the finetuning of it?

Building your pc is very rewarding exdperience. Is fun, it will suit perfectly your needs among other stuff. Im impreced wit hwhat my pc still gives me after nearly 2 years, and i didnt weaste more than 700 euros on it.

I build several,just thought that Alienware tunes the hardware by writing it's own software for it?

If they claim that it's nothing more than marketing BS. You pay the extra for a fancy name, decorative extras and superfluously expensive items of hardware that do nothing for making games run faster.

Haha, wow, no, they don't do anything like that. They might give you a custom desktop image, and maybe some branded adware or a backup utility or something, but nothing useful.

Its basically a home built PC that you buy. They may throw in some free worthless software but I cant remember. YOu can build the same yourself and probably save a couple hundred bucks.

alienware are experts in finetune aerodynamic cases

@brp51d
the best optimization is to deactivate tons of background programs and give gpu/cpu extracooling to make overclocking. I am buying for years cheap case, cheap mainboard, midclass cpu and only highend gpu. The rest is overclocking.
