im sure you can find a molex to SATA adapter instead of a Y Adapter for the SATA power. And yeah just tape the SSD to the side of the case or something.

Thanks for all of the advice! I ended up getting it for $560 out the door, which made it worth buying an Alienware! Now the issue is the SSD...from what I have read, it only has a single 3.5"...

I agree with installing a SSD so long as you have 2 drive bays to work with. Install the OS on the SSD and use the 1 TB HDD for storage of music, videos, misc data files, etc. If you get a large...

:iagree: I was surprised how terrible the Dell software for burning recovery discs is, though. I was happy to see there's a simple way to copy your Steam game directory from one HDD to another,...

or just setup the PC with all updates for drivers and windows, then save a backup of the install. So if you need to do anything, just recover from the backup. TBH anything you fear to be loss in...

If you buy a good brand SSD like Samsung or Intel, they have excellent cloning software that does a perfect job that you couldn't match, doing it yourself from scratch, There is no bloatware like in...

Yeah, I thought about that...I just wasn't sure how much bloatware was on it and if any of the installed Alienware utilities were actually useful. I'll probably end up following your advice. Thanks.

you could do that personally i'd just burn recovery disks, download drivers from Dell's website, then wipe the whole drive and install a fresh OEM copy of windows on the SSD That way you can pick...

$633 is fine. Graphically speaking, I don't know how you could find a better deal, specially not a well built long lasting one like that machine. Later on down the road, you'll be able to speed it...

For $600 its fine in terms of value Even at $633 it seems like a good deal. If you can't get them to go down in $$, ask them for maybe a mouse and keyboard or something like that. Since the...
