Alienware

[jamis]

I just seen one of those leaflets and the computers look awsome, so i checked the computers and they look awsome (well the case). Im really not familiar with computer stuff so im asking would this be a good or bad deal?

From what I can see that system is a total ripoff :S You would be better buying the parts seperately and building it yourself. A rough estimate you would be saving about 700 quid or so.

Alienware is good quality but expensive you can get the same pc for half price more or less

Alienware is a company that puts pc parts in a computer for a good price, and then charges you 1000% on the case.

Aye.

Off the top of my head, I believe their AXL or whatever model it is with it's 'super cooling' uses a very poor water cooling setup with something like 1/4" OD.

i bought mine couple months back, they are good machines probly a bit over priced compared to other computers, but you get a good quality service and looks good in my study

i havent really tested it to see how much it can handle etc but its runs some games really smoothly and it kinda links in with the theme of the games i play (Anarchy Online, www.anarchy-online.com )

i did really buy it for looks.

building ur own PC to suit your needs is a much better idea. i bought this comp for games and it basicly had everything i would put into a custom machine if i were to build it from scratch, so saved me some time.

a bit over priced compared to other computers

A tiny understatement.

I was half expecting that link to load into some crude pron website.
I was half disapointed when that link loaded up a computer front.

what do you reckon to those computers on that site urban? They look quite nice and are resonably priced.

I just looked at em and you not only get a better deal at komplett, but, you have basically 0 cutomising options on that site, and the choices suck. The fact that only builds are with one type of motherboard (in this case Asus...) is not great either.
