I looked on ebay and seen that someone is selling a Alienware x51 with a gtx 660 in it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Alienware-X51-i7-3770-1-5GB-GTX-660-1000GB-8GB-RAM-Brand-New-/170886122562?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item27c99b4c42#ht_3718wt_1397

If your considering buying an Alienware x51 you might want to wait till they start shipping them with a gtx 660. I think most likely it will ship with a gtx 660 soon.

It better be that high because of the GPU :evil:

Crap doesn't even come with a Blu ray player or 2tb HDD

I hope the price is cheaper on Alienware or other retailers or at least have a coupon to lower it down.

I hope Alienware has enough sense to not price it that high, but then again, it's Alienware. Overpricing their products is what they do.

Thats a good price if it comes with the gtx 660. Still be worth it if you had to pay more.

No, no and just NO! Go back to the Alienware boss and tell him you're having no joy at Gamespot.

Gtx 660 is out now for the top x51. Its $1200 and you get i7. Thats much cheaper than I was expecting it to be.

They said you'd never be able to get better graphics cards in there. It didnt take long for them to be proven wrong.

I love how powerful these small machines the size of an Xbox is getting.

Alienware's pricing is hilarious. The $1200 X51 is $2254 here.

Ah, it comes with a monitor too. Pretty strange, you can't even choose to not have the monitor...

They just put the gtx 660 with the x51 that has i5. Thats $1050.

Basicly thats $100 more for double the power I have in my x51. I paid $950 for my x51.

For around $800-850 you can build a very similar build. Only difference would be the case...though I'm not entirely sure I'd want an external PSU like the x51 has.

For $1050 you can build a PC that kicks the crap out of the x51 with the GTX 660 - though I do have one question, is it a Ti version of the 660 or does Dell have some OEM GTX 660 they're using? I ask because you do come across prebuilt computers that use some odd OEM made GPU that you can't normally buy as retail.

Im more into small form factor and maximizing its power. Gtx 660 is like a wet dream for me.

Its probably a oem card but its a lot more powerful than gtx 555. Like 2 times or more powerful plus it uses less watts.

Sell your card and buy a GTX 660.
