:eek: I overheard someone talking at my job and they said that Bust Buy now carries ALIENWARE systems in stock. Anyone else heard of this?

Yes it's true, saw it in the news, also in Best Buy ads. Guess they know a good niche market when they see it. Not a bad stock either!

I think BB will do well with Alienware..Alienware is a very high end gaming rig that would sell very well if they were available in stores.

This is a good opportunity for Alienware to gain some market share.

Wow!!! I almost bought an Alienware a while back, but the cost kept me from it. Good thing, cause it led me to build my first computer!

Anyway, these computers are awesome!!! I'll have to go to my local BB and take a look at the goodies they have.

I agree with Super, that is great news. However I am one that builds my own too and even thought I like the Alienware PC's I could probably build one cheaper than I could buy one.

This is a niche market for those that know better but can't build. Keeps mom & pop from buying a DeLL for the little d00dz.

Steve is such a bad actor. Why do they even have him in their commercials anyway? He really annoys me!

My Best Buy actually has some in.

Now we need a Best Buy commercial with an Alien whipping up on (or vaporizing, you choose) Steve, that annoying Dell kid.

Personally, I'd rather just go to their site and customize one rather than buying one at the store, even though I won't because I only build my own computers. Buying prebuilt systems reminds me of Mal-Wart...or Wal-Mart

I remember mentioning Alienware a while back and someone in the forums said they had experience with them and said they were not as tweaked and smooth running as they would have you believe. Fair enough, unlike Compaq, HP etc they actually use the best (or at least better) hardware and the latest technology rather than giving you a 2Ghz processor with a TNT2 video card.

All the way to SoccerMom who was buying a Gaming Rig for her lil' d00d.

Building a pc or buying one online isn't for everybody.
There are people who need to feel & touch the product, etc. hence; Retail Stores.
Those that need it right away & can't wait.
Those that impulse buy.

Wouldn't you rather be answering Q's about an Alien rig rather than sum DeLL d00dz trying to OC' a K6 on a PcChips MoBo?

Die DeLL Dude, Die
