aren't these build absolutely terrible for thermals and upgrades?

I have two of these machines that I paid a little over each for a year and a half ago. One is running the 5900 with a 6900XT and one running a 5900 with a 6800XT. You will have to remove some crappy pre-installed software, but the Alienware Command Center & AMD software are actually pretty solid for overclocking and managing system fans and leds.

You definitely want to go in and adjust the fan curve for the video card. This is a known AMD thing and not a Dell specific issue. The CPU is liquid cooled but it's not just adequate. The fans aren't bad, they're just server fans, but they do get really loud. You are going to want to go into ACC and either set the system to use the performance preset or create your own, but be prepared to deal with the noise. There's no way to keep this unit as cool as it needs to be and to have it quiet and stay stock. That being said I don't find the noise to be that bothersome because I game with a headset and others have not complained about the noise coming through the mic.

I have replaced the fans on one unit with some quality high static pressure fans and it did keep the unit quieter and a few degrees cooler. This upgrade cost me about 60 for the 3 fans and some thermal paste.

Outside of the noise the units have been rock solid. They've run everything I've thrown at it, from the Adobe suite of products, to COD and Microsoft Flight Simulator. One has done this while pushing 2 27" IPS monitors at 165hz and 1 34" VA panel also at 165hz flawlessly. I'm definitely happy with the purchases.

Quote from Charlie76 :
Ordered Oct 3rd. Pushed back 3 times so far. Now it says shipping Nov. 8th and I should have it by the 11th. I messaged one of those online chats and they said they had finally received all the parts and that it has to go through testing first then it gets put together. I had asked what part were they waiting on, no answer. So i'm assuming it was probably bs and that it may get moved again. I'm just going to keep my order there unless I find something better around black friday. They also gave me a 100 bucks off the next item once this item ships. I have a feeling it won't ship and they won't have to honor that 100.
They actually gave me $100 off this order, so I'm probably going to wait this out until they cancel me. After my Amex discount, I'll be getting this thing for $900, so worth waiting for unless something ridiculous comes around before then.

My order got pushed out to early December now. I'm going to call them again this week. Very frustrating. If this deal wasn't so good I'd cancel and just move on.

Damn. Mine still shows November 11th arrival. Bet that changes in the next day or two.

Mine was pushed to Dec 8. TBH I don't think they can fulfill the order since R10 is reaching the end of life. They are probably playing the overselling trick and wait for us to cancel the order.

This current offering has similar specs for almost double the price. They're just waiting us out...

Best Buy has a similar deal. Seems like the same computer, a few dollars less and quicker shipping/store pick up.

It's the same machine. Tough call here. I have the price of the Dell machine down to $900 with the Amex discount and the $100 Dell promised me. But do I want to risk waiting until early December only to get canceled?
