That's sweet, but why isn't it in a bikini?

That case would look so sweet if instead of green it was actual color gray or silver.

too bad they overcharge for every single piece of hardware they put in the box.

Heheh the Mac marketing motto: "If you build it in pretty colors they will overpay."

If they sold the case separately in gray I would buy it for a multimedia box.

A customer sent me one to play with for a couple of weeks... The hardware is all quality, they are priced for a niche of people who can afford them.. OR are willing to pay for what is percieved higher level of customer support, which in reality is just another busy signal on the 800#... I would recommend the Laptops over Dell or the other market potatos brands... But for the desk boxes
you could build one helluva rack mount Hyproglow puter for what alienware charges for their's...

GF FX?

Uh,..so they ain't going to be shipping these things for another month or 2?

T0J0, what vid card was in it, cause there is no way it had a GF FX in it.

who cares about the "case" all what people cares about is the "inside" instead. lol i run my pc with its case open so i can clear the dust every week

brilliant marketing. You design a box with "the best" components inside, a pretty case, and you charge a hefty premium. Ideal for the rich computer nerd who wants something cool and fast and doesn't want to learn how to assemble his own.

Skuzzy,

That is correct. They will not be shipping them for another month or two.

Alienware Prototype: GeForce FX and a Whole Lotta Goodnes
Our editorial staff hasn’t done a hands-on preview of a prototype OEM machine since the days when the magazine was called boot. But when we saw Alienware’s new case design, our hearts were all a-twitter. Then, when an alien elder told us he’d stuff the rig with a working prototype version of the new GeForce FX videocard (a feat no other system vendor could wrangle), we took the bait. “Give us that machine,” whispered Jon Phillips in his Cigarette Smoking Man voice. “We must have it now.” Article includes first GeForce FX benchmarks available anywhere!
