Dell Buys Alienware

Alienware, a computer maker who was one of the first folks who catered to the hardcore gamers and performance freaks and is now starting to spread to the business market, is getting bought by Dell, who is entrenched in the business market and are one of the last folks to build hard core gaming systems (though latest Quad SLI config is both companies offer a Quad SLI configuration now, though I'd probably take Alienware's as I'm sure Dell uses proprietary parts on theirs and Alienware's setup uses AMD processors, which perform better for the most part).

I like the Idea of Dell purchasing Alienware, though I honestly feel alienwares boxes are a little over priced. But to have dell backing the warranty's eases the mind when spending $5K+ on a gaming box.

You are one of a minute few to deliver any northwesterly lifelike sustenance to a previously Hood river(ite)/Yakima(ite)/Missoula(ite) transplant to (of all places) KANSAS.
