    any one do the numbers on cost of parts and what you get?

    NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090 rrp £1,599
    80PLUS PLATINUM 1350W PSU £399
    1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s (Storage) £99
    13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 13900KF £559
    Mobo, no idea here on but give it £299
    Cooling, no idea here on but give it £199
    Case, no idea here on but give it £149
    32GB, 2x16GB, DDR5, 4800MHz £99

    So about £3,402.

    Not far from the sale price of £3,539.

    £137 being the difference.

    Any cashback on this or Amex deals?

    otherwise its not that bad, oh and a copy of Windows 11 Home, anther £10 to £100 depending where you go to get one.

    Also with Paypal 12 month interest free thats a nice way to pay too.

    Still just a Dell with fancy lights.

    Alienware aint what Alienware once was.

    £1600 GPU, £500 CPU, £100 worth of RAM. I'm not sure where the other £1300 goes but given Alienware's history of skimping on motherboards I've got an idea it might be an executives golfing trip.

    I appreciate there's a cost in all services, and building a computer is one such service, but even once you account for a reasonable power supply, case, and motherboard... The fee here seems to be in the region of £600+ just for build and test - a service which in a manufacturing facility with a competent engineer takes half a day tops.

    Of course everything has a price. To some I guess this is reasonable to void any risks of damaged components and secure a warranty on the complete system, but I'd urge anyone considering a PC build away from it. You can either save £600 and DIY, or buy a better spec'd system from OCUK for around the same price, with the added benefit that they'll use components that are far easier to service, better documented, with better support.

    Watch the gamers nexus on Alienware. You’ll see why this isn’t worth buying

    Thats what I thought until I did the numbers, I think high end is just crazy prices right now. AND thats a low end mobo price I went with as I have no idea whats in there but, AM5 high end mobos are £600 plus!

    Even if it is good value, it's still an Alienware and I wouldn't touch them - even with a VERY long bargepole.

    I would have before Dell bought them out. Back then you could choose what you wanted in the PC. Now Dell just give vague options.

    A 120mm AIO to cool it lol! 13900k draws over 300 watts. This thing will throttle hard

    That's on the older Auroras (r13/14). They moved to 240mm on these new r15 models.

    I was really tempted by this. I can add an additional 10% from a work coupon which makes it pretty much on par with the build I'm currently looking to do.
    I know the majority of people are "boo Alienware!" but the people who have actually owned them swear by them. I've watched numerous videos and apparently the R15 addresses all of the heating issues so the biggest complaint right now seems to be the cost.
    The only thing putting me off was a few people complaining about stuttering but that seems to be the games rather than the machine itself.

    Thank you rusty. To me this is a good deal. Brought this with work perk with extra 8% off and added in 3 years warranty. I don’t need to think about upgrading or diagnosis any fail parts in coming years at least. After that I can think of buying a complete new system
