Alienware's new gaming PC is pretty damn cool

Looks crap, give me a nice Lian Li or Antec any day.

This.

I really want to get a Lian-Li.

 

[Wizzfizz]

Looks crap and overly priced but then, that's Alienware for you.

The vents on top are just a gimmik, no point in them what so ever. Just like the majority of all Alienware features.

 

[LeJosh]

Wait... is there such a thing as a GTS240? I thought it was 250... strange.

 

[DampCat]

Can anyone link pics? Kotaku is blocked

But its Alienware so it must be amazing!!!one!!11

 

[Sparky__H]

is that not just a Corsair single rad unit cpu cooler?

 

[MossyUK]

Being 26, I am apparently too old to understand why I would need a shiny case no one except me will ever see.

 

[Shamikebab]

That's pretty cool, rather keep my Lian Li though

 

[Frenzy]

Think of it in the terms of... Why do i need this ornament in my room? Why do i need to hang this picture of that random landscape up. Whats the point in a mirror above the fireplace etc..

Not too old to understand the hilarity of boobies I see though!

Cheapest is £1900.

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

[Coldzero]

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

yup indeed. Your paying for a brand.

 

[Sleepery]

yup indeed. Your paying for a brand.

What's worse, you're paying for a Dell

 

[Dave85]

I think its awesome. I loved the drive access the lights are soo handy and the power supply and hard drive layout seems a great idea. If you could buy the case seperate it would be awesome.

 

[Azagoth]

Can't stand Alienware, overpriced crap.

 

[DJ_Switch]

Am I right in thinking the rad has nowhere to vent until the case heats up so much that the vents open?

 

[Sp00n]

I'll stick with my Antec 300 ta.

 

[Dazboots]

Looks very nice but i find them 2 overpriced. just stick to a home build would be faster and better and cheaper.

 

[Langlest]

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

dust?
