I build my own pc's and I'm one to hate on Alienware for being so damn expensive when you can build the same exact pc for almost half the price... But now I wanna build a small micro atx pc that has the same case as the Alienware x51 but the problem is I don't know where to buy it, or if they even sell it at all.. So I'm asking where can I buy this awesome case or is there another case just like it that I can buy?

Thanks and the reason why I chose the case is because I want it to look as the same size as the ps4/xbone and it looks sick!

Silverstone RVZ01 is the best option I know of.

I'm pretty sure you can buy used alienwares for cheap.

(Or alienwares that has been salvaged for parts)

Try creating an ad for an Alienware X51 Case only on craigslist and such.

You can get old X51's on ebay for super cheap.

The model with a 3rd gen I3 and 650ti go for 200-300 dollars usually, which isn't too bad i dont think. You could easily just pop a 3770k and a 960/970 in if you wanted.

 

 

Edit: Those specs are off the top of my head, i'm not too sure

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it
