the desktops have great hardware
No they don't lol
They are INSANELY overpriced
I did some research of my own a while ago
I went to customize a beastly computer through them; got a final price of over $4k.
I then went to newegg, and added the same parts, to see how much it would cost to build the same exact computer myself. The price was somewhere in the $2ks
Seriously that's ridiculous as forget. You could buy the parts yourself, and pay for a college course on computer building (which is extremely unnecessary because it's really easy), and still have spent less then if you were to buy the same thing through Alienware
