Alienware X51 – Video Preview
IGN Editor Scott Lowe takes a closer look at Alienware’s new X51 gaming PC. Instead of a gargantuan rig Alienware is typically known, the X51 is surprisingly sleek and about the size of a console. Starting at 9 the X51 impressively can run Battlefield 3 at high specs. Available in 8 different configurations, this computer is definitely worth looking into for those who want to experience the world of PC gaming without having to build an expensive custom rig.

@MrBones2525 Besides if you wanted a cool looking case then you can just mod it or hire some1 to do it and it would be a lot cheaper.

@SpiceThemPotatoes Well, for $700, I say this is a pretty damn good deal.

Alienware computers are about as overpriced as possible. They’re the reason PC gaming gets it’s name for being expensive.

@God1yy You’re an idiot…They’re saving money by not buying an overpriced computer and building it themselves. Also, what makes you think that if I build a rig, it’s specifically for videos games you moron. My desktop is meant for 2d drafting and 3d modeling. It’s main purpose is for projects done on a cnc machine. Also, don’t tell me to save money when you obviously came here to look at this computer and have the mindset of buying it. Dumbass.

@XxIMKINGorDIExX Well, Alienware does the same as the Newegg comp I threw together. That’s my point. They perform the same, but if you don’t want to build and the case is appealing, something you might care about, Alienware is for you. Also, the X51 is very cool in my opinion exclusively because of the size. I could throw this in a console backpack then break down a monitor and throw it in a messenger bag. If I had the cash I would still have to think about getting one.

@God1yy If you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s not just saving money either. It’s getting a better performance for the price. When you figure that out in your stupid ignorant brain, then maybe you’ll realize that it makes perfect sense. I hope you realize the two points you made aren’t even relevant. It just shows how much you came out of school knowing nothing.

PC gamers are sad excuses for gamers. You can say o my PC is so much better than your console, you sound like a stupid little kid saying his toy is better then his friends cheaper toy. It’s a fucking game console dude get over yourself stupid virgins. The BIG diference none of you faggots mention is that Consoles are under 1000$ cheaper or more then a high end
PC. Say im mad or rage at me for commenting I don’t care but it’s the truth.

@God1yy lol zing…..these guys bitching about prices should just shut the fuck up and stop bragging about how better their rigs are, right? All im seeing here is people not really interested in the product but more interested in getting a pat on the head for making their pc all by themselves. lmao

@freakymrq if i were to build this it would be something like
windows 7 = $100
Core i3-2120 = $130
GeForce GT 545 = $150
4 GB = $20
1TB HD = $140
so thats $540 without the optical drive, wi-fi, psu, case and mobo
$700 is decent for this rig

@TheXXLethal I disagree with the “PC gamers are sad excuses for gamers” but you have a valid argument. I pc game I think it’s just people want more bang for their buck

Why are these morons being biased towards alienware? Especially when all the pc experts and people who have a masters degrees say that its overpriced.
