Question

should I get an Alienware x51

Feb 27, 2013 12:29PM PST

I know people either like or hate alienware, but I am looking for a compact gaming desktop, and I haven't found many that can beat the price.
$1,299.99
I suspect it's dell's buying power that keeps the price down, but does anyone know how it performs, or if I should consider other gaming desktops?
thanks
Alan
