I have one of these with a 13900k that I bought for about the same price. And hilariously, almost the exact same comments have been made here as were in that thread.

- It has bad cooling. No, it doesn't. Its really pretty good. Some older alienwares had trouble with it. It isn't a problem at all, and even at full blast its not really that loud either

- You can build your own cheaper. No, you can't. Just the 4090 is challenging to get for under $1800. Its also not a test of manliness. My ten year old built a pc from scratch watching a youtube video.

- Its pRoPrieTaRy. So what. The PS and mobo use proprietary connectors. What are you upgrading from a 1350w power supply and an upper end AM5 board?

The only issue that I've had with it is that the power supply on mine blew, and I've seen a bunch of others with the r15 power supply dying in under a year. Its a delta made supply that's from Dell's server division. So I'd have expected that to be the most bulletproof part. I might get a second year of warranty. But then again, I can buy a replacement power supply for about the cost of the warranty.

Zero regrets about buying it at $2500. I can play every single game that I have at 4k/ultra with lots of ray tracing turned on, at great frame rates. My prior hand built machine was a 12700k and a 3080ti and the alienware smokes that.

No, this is $100 lower than that. Without any discounts that deal was previously $2900.
It is $2800 now, without factoring any discounts.
Previous FP deal for reference: https://slickdeals.net/f/17446347-alienware-aurora-r15-desktop-ryzen-9-7900x-rtx-4090-64gb-ddr5-2tb-ssd-2900-or-less-free-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2Algo

That system is better overall but that price was like a 5 hour long pricing mistake and is now $700 higher. If you got it at that price shipping to you, congrats, I dont think you'll ever find a better 4090 high end gaming PC deal.

Isn't this the same as the FP deal, just with the 10% new customer coupon factored in? The FP deal already mentions this additional 10% off.

This was $2160 using the same 10% off coupon as in the OP here. I see there is 32gb more ram, and 1tb more SSD. If you already had the Intel machine shipping to you, would there be any conceivable reason why you'd order one of these instead, and send the intel back? Thanks.

IMO no, unless you really like the form factor of this VS the R16. Now if you're asking for yourself and really want this one, I'll gladly buy the r16 from you

Only if you were shipping it back to my house instead of Dell.

How is the cooling in cases such as this? Is the air flow adequate? And is there positive air pressure?

I have this. How? Anything special or automatic? (normally 2%) I can't find anything offering 6% on it unless you are referring to the new user sign bonus they have running right now. (bought the R16 system)

For reference, this was the previous front page deal.

https://slickdeals.net/f/17446347-alienware-aurora-r15-desktop-ryzen-9-7900x-rtx-4090-64gb-ddr5-2tb-ssd-2900-or-less-free-shipping?src=foryou_recombee&prop=rcmid-c6b46abe0f67a79c40cfa9b36d934ea4

It is now $500 cheaper than the previous front page deal. This is an incredible deal.

The "other" cb site has 15% right now. I don't see any exceptions or anything listed. Has anyone confirmed this works too?
