  Old  Alienware?

So I will be buying a new pc and I love alienware even though I have never used one. Would you suggest me buying an Alienware PC for gaming?

I've had no personal experience in buying an alienware computer although from what i've seen looking on their site and from their monthly newsletter alienware computers are very good when it comes to performance and are specially made for gamers. I'd however suggest going for one of the top end ones though.

They're expensive, but they perform and look damn good I've always wanted one, and one day I will definatly get one, but they're just too expensive for me at the moment. Besides, nothing can beat making your own PC

I would love one- only for the looks. Buy the new $400 case and build something better inside and for less moola.

Take a look at Shuttle http://eu.shuttle.com/en/DesktopDefault.aspx/tabid-2/ there compact and the screens look amazing. You can also get some pretty good spec ones or buy a barebones system and upgrade it.

Looks like we are the only country they won't sell too ^^ lol. Searching their site they don't have any stores nor will they ship out to USA.

They don't really have any stores of their own but you can find them if you search a good computer/tech site that sells in your country.

Ye sorry this was just a suggestion that I guess was mis-placed. IMO if you have the money for a top end Alienware go for it.

Yeah, and by them recommending another company you get your answer.

In my eyes Alienware's are good computers, just a bit overpriced when you really look at the guts inside and what it would cost to build it yourself or to have a similar machine made at your local computer shop.

Regards,
Jeff
