Alienware

[absolute_deviation]

If u barely had the bucks, would u buy an Alienware? They look tight but i think they charge a little too much for what they give. what do u guys think?

[RADiator]

I think you should have posted in the hardware section. As for Alienware, no I would not buy one. And why should I if I have an ability to build the rig twice as powerful for half a price.

For the valuable knowledge of how-to and the stability... which you already have both, so yeah, why.

[WhoGivesARatsAss]

Alienware rigs suck ass, the only thing worth buying in them is the casing!

[Stonex]

yeah i second that, Alienware cases own, but oh thank the gods they dont sell to NZ, i can just imagine all the newbie tech geeks creaming themselves

So instead i have to put up with Compaq, Hewlett Packard, Dell *shudders*

Allienware Cases are not that cool , there are alot of better cases in the maeket now with Cheap price tags ,
One other way is too Mod your Case by yourself if you have tools and a theme in mind u can make a nice Modified case for youself
Check out these Cases (and there are many more) :
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=11-148-015&DEPA=1
Allienware Case cost between 250-300 Dollars while these are for 60 - 80 dollars

[JerraMaya]

[JerraMaya]

Another Color
looks like Chinese are selecting Allienware design and with few changes , you have another case almost like Allienware but cheap :p

[JerraMaya]

[Smapdey]

I had an Alienware, it worked fine for a long time I guess, I had a lot of problems, tech support was terrible, so I threw it out of the back of my truck. I still have it. I'll take pictures.

[JerraMaya]

Drive Bays: 5.25" x 4/0, 3.5" x 2/4 (external/internal)
Expansion Slots: 7
Front Ports: 2 x USB2.0, 2 x audio
Power Supply: 480W
Cooling System: 1 x 120mm rear fan, 1 x 80mm blue LED side fan
Motherboard Compatibility: Micro ATX, Standard ATX
Dimensions: 17.3" x 7.9" x 19.8"(HxWxD)


With such specifications and 70 Dollar Tag ,i dont think this case sucks ,

[Bhazard]

Stop with the damn pictures, that case is fucking ugly.

[NiteX]

Yeah dude, please stop. Not only are those casing fucking ugly. They are only mid tower. I hate fucking mid tower. I got to have me a full bizatch!

[LynX]

For computers, never, ever buy anything like Alienware or Dell. Your best bet is to buy all the custom components yourself, and build your own custom rig. And always go for full tower.

Building your own custom rig will save you alot of money, both in parts and maintenance (since you'll know how to service your comp, if you know how to assemble it). Plus, you're sure of what goes into your rig.

[JerraMaya]

yea those cases are ugly , i agree ;)
i was just testing you guys :p

Well he lives in Pakistan. He's obviously surrounded by idiots. Look at him. Coming here, he probably doesn't even realize that we're smarter.

[Hobbes874]

Yeah I'd rather buy and build a really sweet watercooled comp instead of wasting my $$$ on an Alienware.

[future man]

I'd rather jam my entire man package into a fucking juicer than buy an Alienware.

Us is the people that are forced to read that retarded post. Dude you really have the braincapacity of a 5 year old huh?

[MrGood]

i have an alienware area 51m laptop. One of the old style ones. It's let me down several times. I wouldn't buy one again.

If your after a decent laptop, stick to some other company. such as dell with their exclusive ati mobility 9800 chips.

My rig is pretty old, standard stuff. Since i', on a tight budget, its good enough for my uni work.

Intel P4 2.4 Ghz HT
512Mb DDR Kingston
80GB HDD
GeForce 4 MX

Pretty stable, so i'll keep it to run older progs.

And yea, Fuck Dell.
