They really couldn't spring for 32GB and 1TB?
YMMV but people love to complain.
Good price and reliable from my experience.
Edit: If anything, Dell improved Alienware; making it more affordable. And Dell is a company that has almost always used solid parts. Especially compared to other pre-built "gaming" companies.

It's a death trap with no circulation.
This power supply is a 12 Volt Only style model. That style distinction is significant since although OEMs have started implementing their own versions of ATX 12VO for cost-savings as well as to meet certain efficiency requirements, what is being sold in OEM systems isn't really standardized in the retail space. So if the power supply needs replacement (outside of warranty) or upgrading, this challenge alone will create some issues well beyond a simple drive to Micro Center.
On top of that, the motherboard also integrates the front panel connections such as the USB sockets directly onto the motherboard. Though typical for many OEM systems such as those from HP, this also complicates replacement of the motherboard and/or case.
Some slickdeals for desktop PCs with these features often offset the limitations with a bargain price. However, high-pirced variants of this kind of highly custom OEM system are best ignored in favor of a PC which utilizes standardized motherboards and power supplies (which major OEMs do still offer!).
Good luck!
