I was running the specs on this compared to my Jan. 2010 Alienware computer top of the line at the time....and i could not believe this one is almost twice as fast for less than 1/2 what the Alienware cost which is still running strong. I just picked one of these up for my son as it will run all the latest games and the new alienware aurora are $1,700+ just to start...amazing how fast GPU and Graphics cards have come along in the past 2-3 years while the prices have dropped dramatically. Thanks Ben
I guess its a kids or computer geek thing...I told my son I had ordered this computer and its twice as fast as the Alienware...the first thing he asks is does it have lights, LOL....I told him he can have the alienware and I will use the new one which I will mount a disco ball on and have a strob light flashing, that should fix the light issue,

This system is far less fancy in terms of aesthetics than a alienware.
