I was just wondering, is the Alienware "P2" chassis a midi-tower, or a full-tower? Because it LOOKS like a midi-tower, but I've read a lot of people referring to it as a "full-tower".
Anyone own an Alienware "P2" chassis?...

well, i don't think you could buy it on its own, would have to be with an expensive alienware system
You can buy them on eBay from Alienware's outlet store, but I'm not looking to buy one personally. I own an Alienware ALX (well, used to... it's a little different internally now), and was just wondering if Alienware had downscaled their cases since then, as my ALX is *definitely* a full-tower.
They had a promotion on in America last year where you could buy the case from alienware.com - but I think the cases cost £250 (Not 100% sure), and they wouldn't ship to the UK either so it would be a very very expensive business getting one over here
Not a huge fan of them myself... Still want to know if they're midi or full-towers, though...

Are the 5 1/4 drive bays above or infront of the motherboard?
If they are above the motherboard then it would be a full tower.

My respect for Alienware just dropped from street sewer to oil drilling hole.
Awful (even for basic) crap with lot of plastics and hype:

(+ I classify that as mini tower)
This is what full towers look:

Shouldn't be that hard to see difference.

Have overhyped low (written wide) screens squashed vision or what?

It's basically a *long* midi-tower, then...
Not keen on the plastics, myself, but I'd definitely like a case of that size... made by Lian-Li!
