| 470018 | 2006-07-11 08:31:00 | Would you buy one? I can't tell as nowhere I can find what motherboard is in the thing. I emailed them but they replied saying they don't answer "presales" questions and directed me back to the uninformative website. |

I think that dell have their own brand of motherboards. not sure if they are just rebrands. I would be tempted to buy a Dell because they are so much cheaper than I could build a similar spec computer myself, but as you said, the support team isn't very helpfull. |

| 470021 | 2006-07-11 09:43:00 | Thats a nice looking computer. Since Dell has brought out Alienware, it could be a rebadged alienware computer? Just a thought |

| 470024 | 2006-07-11 21:54:00 | A designer PC company didn't. Dell did. Warehouse already sold Dell, so Alienware is just Dells latest aquisition. I disagree Greven, do the sums on individual components comparable to the XPS700 - guessing at the MB of course, you can do it for cheaper or the same. This is one reason I don't like them, Alienware or not. They don't tell you whats in it. So is it good quality? I doubt it. And the warranty still sucks. Their support still sucks. |

| 470025 | 2006-07-11 22:15:00 | The Dell badge is a symbol of quality and reliability. When we develop a new product we put it through the rigors of true-to-life use and then some, helping ensure it meets our strict quality guidelines.Even after reading that, NO. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 470026 | 2006-07-12 07:58:00 | saw the flyer, I would think they are parallel imports? I also prosume the Dells they sell at the warehouse are parallel imports to they have full dell warrantys so i would safely say that they arent parallel imported |
