GAMES YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED

 

ALIENWARE, BECAUSE ENTHUSIAST PLATFORMS ARE FOR GAMING RIGHT? 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

I think you guys are too critical of this PC. I see people on the internet arguing that the design is impractical and that the triangular shape serves no purpose and you couldn't be more wrong. See, while most people were doing whatever BS it is that they do, I was taking notes about the tech trends. The analysts are now shouting from the rooftops that the future is portability and the PC is dying.

 

Don't you see what Alienware is doing? They're intentionally putting empty space in your case so you carry what's left of your belongings after your bank forecloses on your broke ass after you've financed this monster @ 22%. Portability is today's game you immobile home-having casuals. Alienware's been one step in front of us all this whole time.

Oh fuck all of you

seriously, fuck off, the lot of you.

"dell this dell that"

It's not fucking dell you shitheaded retards.

God I am so sick of this stupid bullshit Bias from ignorant PC users, it's getting on the last of my fucking nerves.

 

You know, I'm at PAX today, and I find the Alienware booth, and I get to meet Frank Azor, and talk to a few of the other Alienware people at the booth, and also the guy who designed the new case work of that machine.

He's not some random guy, His name is Tom, and he let me in on a little secret.

 

He worked his ass off designing a tower that'd fit their new theme and gave an attempt at trying to generate something new and interesting, something outside of the norm that still functions within normal spec.
HE said to me "I put my heart into that, and reading all the hateful comments just kills me inside"

 

So you know what?

I don't speak for Alienware, but I'm sure a few of them would share my sentiements when I say this, FUCK ALL OF YOU.

I actually think the design is genius, it looks interesting and its functional, look at the shape, with the motherboard rotated and the vents on top at an angle you get a unique look that also aids in cooling due to the simple fact that heat rises. This would also mean that this design will not have "hotspots" or pockets on the case that get extremely hot since they  don't get proper airflow. To be honest if you took the core design of this case and made it minimalistic in styling you would have something like a piece of modern art.

 

By the way Art to me is something that looks  neat and is also functional withou having  the  looks interfere with the usability.

It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014

Could this be Alienware trying to become a legit Gaming PC manufacture? Selling rigs with X99 and DDR4?

X99 is such overkill for gaming.

Should post some pictures too

 

Alienware have always been a legit Gaming PC maker, they are still massively more expensive than self built but they are decentish, not the best motherboards but their pcs are well built and last well (also dell warranty is pretty good) they also look good too

 

(although I prefer their laptops)

 

I dont know how I feel about this PC, one one hand it looks quite cool, but also really ugly..at the same time

Alienware pcs aren't that bad at all, they are just overpriced.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Looks like an alien egg. There's going to be one hefty price tag with this machine.
