Alienware's new gaming PC is pretty damn cool

Seriously this is one amazing case. :eek:

Wow.

Prepare to pay up the arse for it though.

I really wish Alienware sold their cases on their own.

Jeez.....that is one impressive case!

Still wont be worth the money though, despite the quality. The Alienware badge seems to inflate the price no end......

Impressive ideas.

I suppose if i were super rich and had money to waste i would consider a new top end alienware every year

Gaming pc's need 2 hard drives max

I'd take a stylish case over a functional one any day of the week

Looks far nicer than the utterly terrible cases Alienware usually use. I'd still rather have a top-end Dell XPS though, they look awesome.

Kewl, it does look pretty good.

I couldn't care less what my case looks like as long as it's got decent hardware inside. It's just a shiny box to make you feel a bit better about spending a lot of money.

Its not just a shiny case though.

can i say gimmick lol!!
overpriced and nothing compared to some of the custom builds ive seen.

LeJosh · 25 Sep 2009 at 11:29

Cheapest is £1900.

Initial spec... if you want a i7 975 you have to add £1000 to the price. :rolleyes:

No, it's a shiny box with moving bits on! I'm telling ya, women will just fall at your feet with a box like that

I'd like my case to be both stylish and functional. My PC is used for gaming and currently has 4 hard drives so that disproves that too bledd

I'd never buy from Alienware, because the prices always seem ridiculous.

Parsley · 25 Sep 2009 at 11:43

Less garish than usual. Still don't like the overpriced rip off's.

Frenzy · 25 Sep 2009 at 11:44

The motorized vents are a gimick, the layout of the harddrives is impressive but thats about it. Its alienware guys, nothings changed.

Teaf · 25 Sep 2009 at 11:48

Speaking in regards to the case itself, I like it. The hard drive bays on the side of the case are great, even that little light at the back so you can plug in stuff is nice. The power supply removal is excellent I loved that

Not too sure on the motorised thing at the top just seems like something else that could go wrong.

Neah the more the faster it will be in RAID0 or even RAID1. More spindles increases the speed. The specs seems rubbish though. For a decent PC I would have expected minimum to use SSD.

Why motorize them, why not just have them permanently open for better air flow if the "cpu gets too hot".

Dan.m · 25 Sep 2009 at 12:08

Can always trust alienware to overprice!

Nice case though.

Glaucus · 25 Sep 2009 at 12:10

Nothing but a load of lights and useless features. You don't need motorised vents. I looks gash and almost all the features are pointless.

wow 6hdds you mean just like the corsair 800d.
