Alienware Aurora Desktop

Fearless_Z · 02-21-2013, 01:15 AM

For a while now, I've been looking into getting the Nismo Aero kit for my car from Z1, for $4100. I started to compare that amount of money with other things I could buy. I like to "game" alot and I've always been into MMORPG's. So I built an Alienware Aurora desktop on the website, basically the top of the line. And it came out to $4700. The Nismo kit would come out to more than that after paint amd labor. So im thinking about buying this desktop and settling for a lip kit. I may even put my RS1 carbon fiber vented fenders back up for sale. Who knows.

Is there any logic to you guys in my decision?

And if anyone knows alot about these computers, please chime in!

The car MIGHT help you get sex, the computer helps get sex from Jill and Jill's twin sister... (Look at the back of your right hand, index and thumb make a "J" and so on)

Also, Alienware might be owned by Dell now, but I believe they still have a shítty 3 month turn around time)

Have you priced out building the pc yourself? Newegg usually has good deals on parts.

You can build your own PC that will be better than Alienware for a lot less. Usually with Alienware, you're paying for the name.

Haha, yea they're owned by Dell now. I've never had personal experience with their computers but a buddy of mine has the same desktop I'm wanting to build, except he built his to the extreme. His came out to 9k. Thats a little rediculous for me. Then again I'm talking about spending $4700 on one. I'm kinda stuck between the two but then again I'll probably regret not putting it in my car.

Don't buy a prebuilt Alienware, do it yourself and save a few bucks. Save up again, then buy the car parts

Or vice versa, your call!

I've sunk more money than I care to admit into gaming rigs in years past and I can say with some confidence you will regret spending that kind of money of a gaming machine. It will be an amazing PC for maybe 2 months and then you'll constantly notice newer/cheaper/faster machines.

Go with the car parts IMO.

If you aren't gaming to that extreme, don't waste your money, your computer is obsolete the day you buy it...
And the Alienware name is about $1k
You can build a damn close Dell for a lot less, but no overclocking because the Bios doesn't allow it... May I suggest talking to XiP? I think he could point you in the right direction as for building a computer

A good website for parts review and performance.
HARDOCP - HardOCP Computer Hardware Reviews and News

Best website I know of to get parts cheap and reliable.
Newegg.com - Computer Parts, Laptops, Electronics, and More!

Well I'm leaving the console platform and staying strictly on PC. I wont be purchasing the new PS4 or Xbox 720. Ill be playing games like Oblivion Alliances (MMO) and Battlefield 4. I just want to be able to have optimized gameplay since it'll be my only gaming system. But at the same time, im looking into other things of interest. It'll be a while before i make a decision.
