XPS or Alienware???

Been looking at some computers but i'm not sure which is better...any reviews on both that might be helpful do any of you have one and are happy with it?

Alienware has the most overrated computers. It would be cheaper just to build your own.

With Alienware, you're paying more for the name, the pretty case, and the superfluous stuff. I'd say an XPS would be the better deal, unless you really wants an Alienware for some reason.

I must say though, Alienwares do look nice :P

I think the XPS 700 series is rather attractive... Hmmm.

Build your own. Alienware is overpriced as poop and Dell's are pieces of poop.

XPS would be slightly cheaper, but...like everyone else is saying, it'd be cheaper to build your own souped-up computer and then get a purdy case for it.

Dell sucks, and Alienware is too expensive and overrated. Get something like an HP and pimp it out.

Oh, and one question. What are you gonna use it for? I'd only get a pimped out mega-computer if you're gonna do stuff like gaming.

(And I mean like, games that are totally hXc. I'm running WoW on a laptop with 1GB RAM and it's fine, anything that takes more to run that WoW might suck for me.)

Either choice would be stupid.

If you're gonna buy a gaming PC, build it yourself. It's the only way to go. If that's not an option, buy from a place like CyberPowerPC.

There's always the option to lower your resolution and run it in a window. I think you can do that with WoW.

Unfortunately, it's the way I play the Orange Box engine games. My graphics card is integrated and way out of date, and I don't even have 1GB of RAM.

You can build yourself a PC that can run Crysis fairly well for 600-800 dollars. The first result on Dell.com for "xps" starts at 1000 dollars.

Don't let your bias for Genius cloud your judgment.
