Maybe return it for one of EVGA's ITX 960's or a Sapphire ITX 380?

EVGA I can't find it at local here. Sapphire ITX 380 seem look like R7 370 nitro doesn't fit.

ITX 380's a bit smaller than a Nitro 370, though.

O.o No WAY!  I thought from the pictures this was some random crappy prebuilt with a 200W fire hazard psu and an obsolete cpu... I mean, that is what it looks like.

50% of the price for an alienware computer is still overpriced, but whats done is done

The older alienwares are excellent. I have an M15X, circa 2009 and they are fully upgradable with MXM 3.0b modules. @Gofspar has one with a M290X in it. Please do your research before trashing a brand.

For those that are willing to pay for them they are excellent. Not even that much more than an Eurocom/Clevo equivalent and you get RGB lighting.

I guess "excellent" to you means having a ton of quality control issues and computers that break after a year...

 

RGB lighting is a gimmick which kids buy into because "it looks cool"

thats pretty much how alienware markets all their overpriced crap to the children

same strategy that razer uses

Not a big fan of RGB Lighting myself, some people like it though and it can be considered a positive. Would you say Corsair "markets overpriced crap"?
