Woah.

"This configuration cannot be shipped to California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont or Washington due to power consumption regulations. Any orders placed that are bound for those states will be canceled."

Apparently we're just about out of dilithium crystals here...

I cannot stress enough for everyone to upgrade and get the liquid cooled option. Even though the outside looks different, the inside has been the same since the Alienware R6. If you're computer savvy you can install the Corsair H60 yourself like I did on my Alienware R8, but it's cheaper just for dell to do it ($30 for black chassis & $50 for white chassis):

Does not give an option to upgrade but these are very hot even with liquid I had R9 with liquid and temps could lot better with different fans, add extra fan and aftermarket cooler.

I cannot stress enough to not buy an Alienware unless you're planning on ripping the GPU out.
The whole thing is just terrible in general.

I am sure he meant noise and heating issues with air chilled models. Yeah these are not worth retail price and you might as well sell the desktop pull gpu and use the cash to get your own components from SD at discount.

Seems look a good deal but be aware Alienware desktops notoriously run hot bc of bad airflow. This one could be fine but most generally run very hot
