Get the same system on a laptop with 120Hz screen for the same price from Clevo.

thats some hightech shit. my friend back from the u.s whos a hacker got an alienware laptop using another persons credit card lol.....those laptops are no joke
you get like 2x better PC with that money. Dont waste on Alienware:( They just sell with the name.
as vATU said, Alienware is something like footballers brand
the only thing they are so expensive is because of the customised case
that allow u to change colours in any way u want :)
its all garunteed and shit too, you cant get that with a custom build
Parent
ofc you can, atleast in belgium!
Parent
shit pc by shit brandyou can get twice as fast computer for the same price if you buy the components yourself
shit rig. Build one urself and get better parts and save money...
buy parts, assemble , win
for 1000€ u can get the System like i have.
Way too expensive.

Buy parts & assemble yourself.
Well yes, that's the workers class/poor mans way. :S

I'm pretty sure my current rig is arguably better than any pc you can buy right now.

You got a small monitor and you add in your TV to make up for it? Do you have penis size issues? :S
Parent
Admit you're surprised.
I'll take the TV off, just to make you happy.
Anyways, your rig ain't half bad!
Parent
But what's the feel of having so much RAM you don't even need??
I atleast have an excuse...making music, currently for DANJE and his ET ZOMBIE mod....
Parent
Just for the sake of having it. Surely I could argue I can use it for movie editting, but in the end I just couldn't put a dual channel kit in a quad channel socket could I? :P
And more ram can't hurt, in a couple years it will be normal to have 16GB.
Parent
If you go overkill, you should do it good.
The memory that i have in my profile in pretty awesome 40 euro for 8GB and able to run 2000MHz on 1,55 v in combination with sb/ib the new 30nm samsung. Since my IMC is not that good i have overclocked it to 1600MHz 7-8-7-23 and undervolted it from 1,5 to 1,42
Parent
I don't feel the need to OC yet. But good job though!
Parent
you should not need to oc that for a while, the processor is a beast
Parent
Ye I don't even have experience OCing ram so I think I'll leave it like it is now :)
Parent
I didn't feel the need either. It's just more a hobby in combination with custom water cooling.
Parent
You never ruined a rig due to bad watercooling & leakage? I heard so many horrorstories :x
Parent
Overkill much?
Parent
You forgot the mouse, keyboard, monitor and sound card.
Parent
Could use a new mouse & headset. But keyboard, seriously I don't see any advantage in having some high-end razer keyboard or something. It just needs to feel good and that's sufficient.

Soundcard I don't use anyway, but for the sake of overkill I might consider an upgrade!
Parent
get a mechanical keyboard from Filco and some good soundcard and your setup will improve a lot.
Parent
The K200 isn't mechanical?
Parent
No. I don't think there is any Logitech with mechanical switches.
Parent
your gpu is nice, otherwise its all pretty standard stuff if you buy a decent alienware..
Parent
You won't be getting a CPU of that caliber in any Alienware PC tbh. And neither would you in terms of ram.
Parent
i have 16 gb ram and an i7 , not as good as yours but still high end Edit - i think the alienware case i have too is better than what you can get building your own
Parent

I don't think your pc is balanced at all.
Why don't you have an SSD?
Why did you bought that motherboard?
And your screen is more like a television, Full HD on 27" looks awful when you look close at it.
If you buy 27" at least get a higher resolution.

And it just looks stupid just to copy paste your order, just shows you don't know nothing about what you actually bought.
Parent
u are so retarded honestly:D wow man its insane
Parent
Seems about 350 too much for those specs. Build it yourself.
some of these guys make me laugh, just coz you cant afford an alienware system u slag it off???, well my alienware is a quality build brimming with clever ideas and tech, build your own and fail when u realise you cant fit the cooling into the case etc, all in all its a beasty laptop, i have the aurora r3 with an i7 and a hd 6990 and its a monster, their customer service lacks in professionalism and they charge you alot but all in all its a good choice
Putting together a custom rig ain't as hard as you think ;)
Parent
for most it is, and if you can afford it why not buy a premade pc? :)
Parent
for those people you have the assemble option. Most shops here built the pc for you for around 30~50euro
Parent
alienware is shit, dont get alienware
Dan ben je echt debiel als je dat aanschaft, serieus voor dat geld kan je 10x andere laptops halen.
Go for it :)


but to be honest with you. its overpriced wait for big -50% weekends then get it
You must be really stupid to go for that because of the case.
Parent
did i say something about case?

i sayd wait for the discount.
Parent
AlienWare is ruined.

Just know that the boss behind AlienWare is NOT a gamer, he is a businessman who wants MONEY.

Just build the PC by yourself. It not that hard, it is just people whining about how hard it is.
if you are rich (mean you earn more than 5k per month like bobo said)

then get an alienware !!!
