Just to keep things accurate, it is still unconfirmed. Neither Dell or Alienware has confirmed the buyout, though they haven't denied it either.

I wouldn't mind if the deal does go through though. It would be a huge boost to Dell to acquire the high-end gaming market. Will be interesting to see how the AMD issue pans out.
