Who owns Alienware these days? Oh, right, it's Dell. 'Nuff said.

Ive seen inside alienware comps... they hare a really awesome looking tower on the outside, and cheap looking mid range components on the inside.... complete waste of cash.
like Langnasen said, build your own, or get someone you know to build one for you, that way you dont get ripped off |

There are many people who don't have the skill and or time to build their own machines. A good system builder will put together a fast, stable machine with quality components. The other thing you can get from the better companies is quality support. There are a number of very good companies out there that offer a proffesional build, top components and outstanding support. The two best in my experience are Falcon Northwest [very expensive] and Maingear. Maingear offers 99% of what you get from Falcon with first rate tech and customer support at a reasonable price point. Alienware is not in the same league as these companies. I have dealt with all and you cant go wrong with Falcon or Maingear. Either will take the time to give you sound advice about system configuration without sales pressure. Also, they will not try to upsell you on anything. Good luck.

Actually everyone has the skills to build one they just lack the desire to fit tab b into slot a. And builders dont build stable machines the hardware is either reliable or it isnt, the builder is just an assembler. And if you have 3 hours you can build a complete machine assuming you have a philips screwdriver.
