People are starting to realise that the parts in an Alienware PC are no different than any other "gaming" brand-in-a-box PC (which means generally inferior to DIY parts).
Since Dell doesn't actually manufacture monitors but just throws their name (or Alienware's name) on ones that are made for them by HannStar, Samsung, LG (or whoever else), there's nothing special about an Alienware monitor. It's just got that funky Alien's head on it. That $1000 they dropped from the price was pure "screw-the-noobs" profit, GUARANTEED!
