I thought it was a great deal until i found out that most of the parts are proprietary. Correct me if i'm wrong but even the GPU is their own custom GPU which means you can't just replace it with a full size 4070/5070 next time. There's also people complaining of thermal issues. That being said, ts a fantastic price @ $1199 for a 3070 but be aware of the limitations.
Considering the street value of even a used 3070 is north of $800 right now, this should sell out in all of about 6 seconds.
7 replacements? Your persistence is commendable.

I also had to chat with several agents before getting the liquid cooling package for 1230. If the agent can't give it to you just end the chat and start a new one.

Thanks to vaderdd and the other guys that recommended I give them a call.

I called them today, showed them the presidents day deal on dell website for 1199.99. Told them I wouldn't be available on the 11th and if I could get it early. The guy knew what I wanted and got permission from finance.

Got back to me with a quote for $1229 = 30 bucks more. I asked if I could get the liquid cooling he said it would cost about $200 more. I said never-mind I will take it as is.

He read the specs before placing the order and said "fan cooling". HOWEVER, when I got the actual confirmation I saw:

Again, the sales rep read his screen and told me it would be fan cooling, the actual order confirmation details shows liquid cooling. I will see when it gets here, but if your quoted $30 more it might be for liquid cooling.

So what is in this? Just a regular 3070? Is it proprietary? Or just a founder's? Basically, what are we really getting here GPU wise?

Seems to be proprietary dual fan 3070 built for the smaller alien ware chassis. Definitely not standard. Not sure how useful it will be for resale purposes.

so they it on their website when you scroll down.


INNOVATIVE GRAPHICS POWER, AIRFLOW, AND COOLING
The Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition now offers optional custom graphics designs based on NVIDIA's 2nd Gen RTX architecture. These custom designs are made with extensive thermals and an innovative airflow pattern engineered to prioritize graphics performance while complementing the Aurora chassis airflow as well.


Engineered for efficiency: These custom graphics card designs, included in both NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 and 3090 graphics, are built with space efficiency with a max length of just 267mm that covers a 2.5x slots and offers a dual 6-pin/8-pin PCI-Express power connectors. All of these choices have been made to create efficiency with uncompromised gaming performance.

Well probably whats going on here is, they arnt allowed to do early specials exactly as is and have to modify it somehow so it can be added. The rep who helped me 2 days ago said he had to get it manually approved. He also told me a definitive no when I asked to get the $1200 price, but told me he could get it close to that.

In terms of the liquid cooling thing. I am going to guess it might be a typo or perhaps its referring to some AIO cooling for the cpu, as opposed to "liquid cooling" as in water cooling kit for the entire system. Those are 2 very different things, thats why he quoted you $170.... The rep didnt mention anything to me about the cooler being different, just that the system would be +$30 over the pres. day deal so.... Might have to wait and see what arrives.

After about 15 minutes negotiating price with the rep I managed to get it for $1250 + tax with liquid cooling and Wi-Fi 6.
lmao I love that you can just negotiate with these reps. Should have done that. Seems like they definitely have the leeway and they definitely want to make these sales - my sales rep shared me their email and was like if you know anyone else who wants this deal...send them my way please haha. So yeah negotiate hard and maybe you'll get it - the invoice literally just has the price as $1200 with $44 being some weird service fee and $4 being the keyboard or something, so quite possible they literally just make up these prices as they go

All of them are now telling me the "Finance Team" is disallowing this and rejecting this deal.
Now the only deal you can get is $1,229.99 for the doorbuster deal, $50 additional for the liquid cooling. Total $1,279.99

Not giving up. Got time on my hands. Will call over and over.
