Awesome deal, Im still running my Alienware Aurora R7 with liquid cooling from like 2018. Upgraded from a GTX1080 to a RTX3070. Not a single issue with this PC. I run it for about 8+ hours a day and often max out the CPU and GPU from gaming yet ive never had an issue with overheating even when my office was 90+ degrees

There is contradicting information about the Max RAM this PC can support. Can any one confirm if this can support more than 64 GB of gram? Does it support 96GB or128GB? Thanks

fyi if anyone else bought the i7 5080 deal and then saw the i9 5080/liquid cooling for same price today, I messaged dell and they gave me a $100 credit via chat. I tried to cancel and reorder but my order shipped today.

I could return and rebuy but chase deals expire 4/30 so probably not worth.

Thanks for this, I had ordered a 5090 build with the 10% off email, external c b, and Amex 13% biz, looks like I should chat with them. Although it was the cheaper config which is not currently on sale

$100 refund to card. You cannot choose which card but in past with another amex deal ($100 off $500) I was also given a refund due to price adjustment and I still got the amex offer.

You can fit the second 2.5 anywhere easily. I put one on top of the 3.5 cage. It has two SATA ports with one SATA cable already installed, and two SATA power connectors in there two. If you need a second SATA SSD, you only need to connect another SATA cable on the motherboard which is straightforward.
