Moohawk! Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 I'd go with the Dell. After a quick look through those specs, they're both similar systems with possibly the Dell just edging ahead. You're probably paying an extra 400 quid on the Alienware just for the Alienware name and chasis.
AeroScap Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Have a look at this beut! http://www.hotukdeals.com/deal/37003/dell-dimension-9200-base-unit-with- Exactly the same in every respect once you stick on your E207WFP but! £646.32 oh vista business instead of premium but at that price there isnt any reason not to dive in!
