I beg to differ, especially considering i assumedly get to choose my own software for this device

Within reasonable bounds.... yes, the Alienware will most likely cost more.

What I consider reasonable: what you would agree to buy if you're forking out the money yourself. Even if you're an enthusiast, you probably can't beat Alienware on cost.



Sure you can say you're going to use a server board, and load it with 4x Xeon quads, and stick like 4 GTX295 GPUs in it, and 32 SSDs... fuck that, too weak... build yourself a supercomputer using a cluster of 2048 Core i7s, with 128TB of RAM... but that kind of stuff is far beyond reasonable, and doesn't count.

Hell, for arguments sake, I can always pay Alienware [insert a large number] times as much, to get them to custom build the exact same thing for me, they won't refuse.
