Alienware to Bring out low-cost AMD Computer System Next Week
Right after Dell's sudden decision to get rid of its XPS gaming systems, Alienware quickly announced that it will bring out a relatively low-cost game PC with dual ATI graphics chips within the next two weeks. The $1,699 system will come with an ASUS high-end motherboard based on the AMD 790FX chipset, 4GB of DDR2 800MHz memory, a quad-core 9550 (2.2GHz) Phenom X4 processor, and an ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics card, said Marc Diana, Alienware product marketing manager for desktops.

It's not your granddaddy's AMD system. We're talking top-of-the-line quad core.

Alienware...expensive...;gasp; bloated.
They were cool once...yet far from it now.
i have a system very similar to that and did not spend close to that much...but it is very low when compared to there fully tricked out desktops.
That's what I can't fathom about alienware.
If I were to buy the parts... locally (aka high price!) it'd be 2/3 the cost. Probably from newegg it'd be half cost or even less.
Should one pay such an inflated price just to have a pc called 'alienware' if inside it's still got the same mobo, ram, processor and graphics card one can buy anywhere? Makes no sense to me...
Further to that they sell a "top of the line" quad core pc with onboard sound?:shadedshu
Alienware is way too inflated...Cizmo is more realistic, after all what's inside the pc counts not the brand engraved outside on the case!
