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.

Your forum links are coming out weird for some reason. Might want to correct the URL.

But thanks for the tip! That'll save me some time Smilie

Man that set was below $100 on Amazon in December last year.
SD messes up the forum links with affiliate injection when you click them. If you click reply on SD, you can see the correct links are there. Stick Out Tongue I have added direct links using [code]. Thanks for pointing out. hug

That PSU seems like it is inadequate for a 3070
The 3070 consumes less power, special gimp dell edition. Probably only has one fan

Talk to chat. It will be $30 more than the doorbuster price.

"First thing I have noticed was that the air cooled fan provided by Alienware just does not cut it for cooling an AMD while under load. Loading up a new gen game will put the core at around 95 Degrees which is just unacceptable, how did this get pass QA? Please review your process and fix this for future customers please. I have since upgraded to a liquid cooler so I no longer have this problem. Secondly, the fan is running too loud. Even on idle I can hear it in my living room. Why cheap out so much on the fans? After I have replaced them, the Bios does not even detect the fans?! I had to uninstall the Alienware command center and update the bios, restart 3 times to get it functioning. Aside from these 2 jarring issues mentioned above I really do enjoy the PC."

Just got off the chat, bought it with liquid cooling for $1279.99 before tax. 10% off via AMEX. The sales rep recommended the liquid cooler which means the default cooler/fan sucks!

Or they're trained to recommend upgrades to make dell more $

It was that yesterday. You're the second to report today that it's no longer the case Smilie
