Alienware is taking advantage of people's ignorance, but can't exactly blame them since their stuff is only worth what people will pay for it.

This is old news to people here. I priced up a PC I saw in the Alienware flier, the other day. There was a 100% markup on the Alienware compared to self built with the same parts (same but better quality).

Whenever I see ignorant people being ripped off by Alienware, I start thinking about even more ignorant people being ripped off even more by Apple and instantly feel less hatred towards Alienware.

There are people who don't want to build their PCs and Alienware is perfect for them.You can say that the extra cost is for convenience.

I paid an extra 50 to have my PC built. A little much, but still paid a lot less than anything Alienware.

Pay double just so you don't have to build it? If these people, who didn't want to build it themselves, knew what they were doing, they would get a local shop to do it.

I got mine for $480, I completely agree, nothing comes even close in that price range, that and they are very overclock-able.

At least when Alienware rip you off you get a decent system. When Apple rip you off you get out of date hardware in a shiny box.

Alienware are what a lot of people think when someone says "Gaming PC" so it's usually a tactic to get lots of money from ignorant people, my mate was like this he said hes getting an Alienware i told him not to, he bought it anyway and after he bought it i showed him the same PC for like $700 and he then started defending his Alienware saying it's the name he paid for and the service. So screw him he can pay outrageous prices all he wants for being so ignorant.

It's for the people who want to be "hardcore gamers" yet they haven't taken the time to learn what a GPU is. This lack of interest and excess of ignorance results in over-paying.

wow. for funsies i priced up two similar specced systems on 2 different sites and i could get the same spec alienware rig for around 150 euro cheaper by going with someone else (prebuilt of course). with the cheaper rig i also get a free copy of shogun 2. the alienware was 1033 euros. i wont mention names as it could be seen as advertising. but yeah...its a bit nuts. im sure others can find even cheaper places for pre-builts.

For almost the same thing I have now that I pad $1750 for... wireless card, sound card included, Alienware wants over $3100. And my parts are way better.

I dont see the fun of buying prebuild whether its alienware or something else cheaper. Even if they sell it at cost and put it together free. I love putting together a computer.
