Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

This is about what it would cost to buy all the components yourself and assemble. Additionally, Alienware use proprietary motherboard and PSUs so upgrading would be difficult. However, since this is pretty top notch components, you probably won't need to upgrade for 5-7 years.

I would say this is a decent deal if you don't want to bother building yourself or care about upgrading.
100% correct, very proprietary, so hard to upgrade or change components.

If you have a Microcenter close to you, you are way better off getting a custom system for roughly the same price.

Also, if you want this for gaming, you are way better off with a 7800X3D vs. the 7950 in this unit. If you are getting this for a creator PC with no intention of upgrades besides memory later, this is fine.
None of your scenarios make any sense. Since when do you have to buy RAM from Dell? I put RAM from Amazon in my Aurora R13. Works great.

Why can't you upgrade to a 5090 or 6090? It's a card. Take out the old, put in the new.

Your comment about MB or PS makes no sense. What are you trying to say? I didn't say you can't upgrade either...I said you won't have a need to for years and by then you're going to have to buy newer parts to go with that new MB anyways, so might as well buy a new system.

If you're a tinkerer, then sure, go buy 20 parts from 20 different manufacturers and tinker away. Most people don't want to do that. I, like many, prefer having all the parts under one warranty that can be repaired quickly.

FWIW, I was building computers probably before you were born. I know a thing or two about the pros and cons of building vs buying prebuilt. You can have an opinion about what YOU prefer, but blanket statements that nothing can be upgraded is pure misinformation.

Winamp. This post is weirdly coincidental for me. Just a couple days ago Winamp and the llama intro randomly popped into my head, after not using it for probably 20 years.

How is the 4090 in this machine? Does it have coil whine? I know the PNY and Gigabyte had most success with no coil whine.

I've outlined it in my post in this thread before.

How I did it was:
10% coupon
10% cash back portal
5% chase credit card cash back (you can split payments with dell)
$100 refund for delay

I could have done $30 better if I used my Amex $40 offer as well. Oh well.
Did splitting the chase cards end up working for you? did you put 1k on each card?

Yes, I received my cash back. Doesn't matter how you split long as you stay below 2k to maximize.

Finally pulled the trigger. Used:
  • ​10% from DELL email
  • 10% CB site
  • %5 Chase CB
  • %6 Citi CB
$2350 with tax included. Shipping date is now Mar 14th. Could it come earlier? Can't wait to try Stable Diffusion Video on this beast. My 7-year old but still working XPS 8850 and GTX1070 are a pain to work with. 8GB is killing me.
Thanks for all the posts with CB information.

Lol don't mention cashback. Slickdeals is now owned by a hedge fund, and if they aren't making their cut while giving you 0%, they are not happy.

LOL, I got a warning from SD monitors and my post asking for site got deleted.
Anyway, are you happy with the machine?

Can anyone tell me how many PCIe slots and how much space is left in the case? I'm thinking of adding either a double-width video card or a thunderbolt 4 card for external GPU for more VRAM for AI...

ETA: why the downvote?
