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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
