What do you guys think of the product? I'm thinking of buying one. Is it good? Anyone know the difference of Aurora Alx & Aurora in terms of casing?

I think they're way over priced :P... only thing I would get from them is a laptop. As far as desktops go Ill build my own. If you dont know how to build your own you should check out cyberpowerpc.com or ibuypower.com even tho they charge more then building it yourself they are still cheaper then alienware :). If you got the cash to drop tho and dont mind doing so then go for the alienware. Its really all about what makes you happy and my opinion shouldnt matter much:).

happy gaming my friend

Ill go ahead and throw a shout-out for ibuypower.com, seriously you should check them out, that is where I got my latest comp. I was going to build my own, but ibuypower was actually CHEAPER than buying the same parts off newegg! Of course at the time that had something like, free shipping + 5% off the total, but they are almost always doing those kind of deals, just keep your eyes open.

P.S. I am going to say alienware sucks and avoid them like the plague....absolutely no reason to throw your money away like that.

My friend got gifted an alienware, I wouldnt say no to it.

Anyway if you got the money, and dont want to build your own and like alienwares designs there sure why not.

I think they are overpriced and i can't really say how well they are built but the proce mostly comes from the look.

Alienware takes $1000 in parts, slaps it into a $100 case and sells it for $3000. If you're going to buy alienware, i'll do you a favor. Post the specs and price of the computer you'll be buying, and i'm sure someone will post a cheaper computer with the same specs.

Woah... they're overpriced, but not THAT overpriced.

Alienware Area-51

6 gb ddr3 1066

Radeon 5870

640 gb HDD

$2399.99

Hell, the Alienware is cheaper than the Mac with an Nvidia gt 120, which is a 9500 gt.

but alienware is one of the sexiest pc's in the world but if you buy your own custom pc and mod it then you would be able to create much better pc of your choice

I bought an Alienware in 2001 before they were bought out by Dell. Paid 3500 dollars for an Aurora DDR that gave me nothing but problems, of course hardware problems aren't always the manufacturers fault, but the issues were made worse by Alienware's sub par tech support. I can't even imagine how bad they are now that they got out by Dell.
