The exterior of the case looks alright. The interior I'm not so sure of -_- 120mm fans or lower :/

Please become a member of the Linus Tech Tips forum, keep writing smug remarks & let us love you. Peace out.

If you care for price/performance ratio at all, stay away from alienware and build your own pc.

Alienware is crap.

+1

Concise and tells you all you needed to know.

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

Except it doesn't. If someone is asking for advice on something to build, it helps to explain why something might be, as he put it, crap.

 

Other people have already explained why you shouldn't purchase Alienware, so I won't bother. I will say though, that I expected more from this forum.

 

Maybe not much more, but still more.

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.

He wanted to buy a prebuilt...

So yes, it tells him all he needed to know. Why you should not purchase Alienware is obvious when you see pricetag vs. the price of separate components.
