Meh. Personally. I dont like the idea, what happens if something fails, then you are screwed. Besides, I never liked the look of an Alienware case anyway. Too bold for my taste. I'd rather have an Antec Solo or Cooler Master 590 (which is my current case btw)

Dell owning Alienware = TRADGETY

Submitted by vhernandez2005 on Mon, 09/28/2009 - 9:50pm

When I first heard the news, I honestly thought it was bullsh*t or a joke, but then I read it online and yes, Dell owns Alienware. Their computers are nice and unique, but damn, they are f**king expensive! Honestly. I think the reason they waited so long to sell only their Alienware case is because that's all people will buy, reason being they will be cheaper than buying a thousand dollar computer from them. I do like the new case design though. It looks like a mohawk or air damps from a car....now if only they would actually raise up when you turned on your computer, then that would be SICK!! But seriously, with $2,299, and that's not including taxes and shipping...I can build a better beastly computer. Looks is one thing, but having a bigger "engine" is a whole other benefit.

Mechanical failure is a concern with any kind of cooling solution except passive.  I think this is cool, I wish Dell would just sell the cases, that's all I want.  I'm not paying their ridiculous prices for a whole machine.

pretty cool

Submitted by Rob86 on Wed, 09/23/2009 - 5:20pm

i like the idea.

i don't think its practical but how often has that stopped me from doing something! i'm on board. although i could see mechanical failure being an issue like someone else pointed out.

why would you need to close the vents?

Submitted by bikerbub on Wed, 09/23/2009 - 5:05pm

dont really know why you would want to close the vents. i think it could be somwhat of an inconvienience, especially if one of the actuators goes out, and you have to prop the vents open while you order a new part from dell. I have no problem with the noise my Antec900 makes, and it has a fan the size of texas on the top.

What a letdown. The older models looked better, and were huge (EATX). Perfect size for epic coolers/huge GPUs.

what reason would you have for leaving the vents closed as opposed to open? noise mayb? if so, would it even make much of a different sound-wise?

awesome?

Seems pretty cool, albeit a little ridiculous.  It's just not going to be necessary for most people.
