Curious about Alienware.

Go to solution Solved by Slaeowulf,

Dell has them custom made and owns the designs. It's a shame they don't sell the cases individually, really. 

Who is their OEM for cases? NZXT?

Some older laptops were based off clevo system. I have heard that some Alienware use parts from Flextronics.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

They are very, very cool designs. Definitely appeal to the 15-year-old in all of us :D

If it appealed to the 15 year old me, it should just be cleavage with a computer inside.

Haha, nice. I meant it had that sort of Lambo/Ferrari overkill look to it, but this works, too ;)

Then there's the majority who like simplstic looks (ew imo) with their Fractal Cases. I find that I only like simplistic if it's the Corsair cases. Otherwise... why is your pc a black, blank box? Ugly.

I suppose it depends on the room it's in, and each person's taste. Like a plain, clean white case would look awful anywhere in my place, but it would look perfect in my older brother's flat in London. Corsair do simplistic well because they go for a very bold style, rather than a clean, sterile look like Fractal. But hey, some people like that.

Got a picture just for the sake of drooling:

The inside isn't the best for building a pc, but the sexiness would make up for it.

 

I guess you always could buy a case off of ebay, but you wouldn't get the customizable lighting exclusive to their motherboard.

X51 looks way nicer. The larger laptop keyboards look bad as well.

Their cases have always looked good but been terrible at cooling.
