Is Alienware good?

Always build your own. Why get someone to do it for you ??

I was in the same situation but i decided to build my own computer and save some money. It was a great idea since now i have a 8 core processor. :)

If I look at the spec for Alienware, they are just like other regular pc with higher configuration. We have to get a higher processor, big memory, and sound card. But according to the Dell, they told me it is not just the spec, how the configuration and some other stuffs that they put inside that makes Alienware a good gaming pc. I can't really comment anything about that. But I bought one for my son. So far he said it is amazing. Try other consumer review side for alienware and compare.
