Alienware Relaunches Flagship ALX Desktop With 4 GHz Quad-core Processor

[Guest]

Miami (FL) - Given Dell's recent product launches in the high-performance desktop PC segment, Alienware may be in the midst of an identity crisis, as Dell's house brand was matching almost all specs of Alienware's high-end computers - for similar money.

" Dell is now relaunching its flagship system to restore the distance to the Dell XPS."

What other types of hardware/goodies could alienware add?

I always considered that the main advantage of an Alienware PC is only cosmetic. As just the name and logo are pretty cool ;P. But did it really worth the price asked?

Sorry for the double post... but in answer to chise1, i think they could add unique upgrades, like lcd touchscreen displays in the front of the tower, special fan (or pump for LCS) controlers, and thing like this to expend their "Futuristic and space" main theme. I think this should be good, as their products are already mainly for people that have big money to spend on their PC.

I find it cool already that the system lighting can be changed directly from the OS to suit your mood, not to mention that the system lighting can change colors to begin with.
Plus, liquid cooling and sound-dampening are always welcome.
Maybe they could figure out how to put in a side window and not have it look like every other gaming tower built some guy's basement. Like a steel mesh over acrylic window, then streamline the interior and make it look truly alien-cyborg esque.

Then limit the Dell XPS to air-cooling only. That will make it louder, it will restrict performance potential of components, and will give incentive to pony up for Alienware products instead.

Alienware is/was/always will be a joke when you consider the value for what your getting. Overpriced beyond a shadow of a doubt compared to what you can build yourself.

lol knobman

very true man, and with the $5000 you save, you can buy your girlfriend/wife a diamond ring so she doesnt bother you while your gaming. 😛

a temporary fix at best, humalong.
