Bigger budget?
In all seriousness, what do you mean by themed? Alienware, like Dell and Gateway basically offer a range of products ranging from lower price/performace to higher. They just cater to a specific group of consumers (gamers). I'd say they're "theme" is their logo. T Last edited by thaigecko; 06-29-2007 at 07:57 AM. |

Put together a build your own PC with similar specs to any given Alienware PC and I bet you'll find it's cheaper.

Didn't DELL buy Alienware?
I agree with blue60007...a home built computer with similar specs to a Alienware will cost a lot less.  Cricket

Yes, Dell did buy alienware, but supposedly the tech support and major operations were left alone. Dell just wanted to be able to get some of the profits :-)
I agree with Cricket and blue; for a high performance rig, it's cheaper to build your own. |

Aleinware was/is selling their cases on their site for 400 clams a piece. Comes with a 700watt power supply if you really wanted one.......
If you ask me they're just getting rid of stock so they can move to a new design. |
