Dilatedpeoples28 Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 Quality and performance wise from wut I know they are pretty close to top of the line. They are however very expensive, and I have heard some bad remarks about their customer service. Depends on wut ur looking for. Notebook or desktop. I dont kno how savy u r with computers, but building a computer urself is ALOT less than alienware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 is alienware a good company for computers Not as good as you would think.. you are paying for their name at this point. Dont get me wrong they create a great product.. however, there is faster out there.. Also for some reason everybody that i know who has one has had one or more problems.. one has usb ports that were not grounded correctly leading the connector being blown.. and the other one had serious heat problems.. maybe it was two lemons..

Guest kamil234 Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 the best company = yourself, you can build your own computer for far cheaper than the brand name computers, and make it as fast and big as you want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 the best company = yourself, you can build your own computer for far cheaper than the brand name computers, and make it as fast and big as you want to please show me where i can buy components and software at a price that makes it cheaper than buying a retail box. and if you're gonna include on sale components, the price for the retail boxis also the sale price. good luck.

Guest kamil234 Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 by the way, if you're going to buy a alienware, go with falcon northwest instead, they are top of the line but..yes very expensive.. falcon-nw.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilatedpeoples28 Posted September 5, 2005 CID Share Posted September 5, 2005 either falcon or voodoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted September 6, 2005 CID Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have seen some of their system.. But can find any benchmarks against an Alienware.. I will say that Falcon's cases are just amazing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
