I have an Alienware Area-51 X58 desktop (i7 2.66, 6gb ram, nvidia GTX 295) and an Alienware Area-51 m15x laptop (Core 2 Duo 2.5, 4gb ram, nvidia 8700M GT) both running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and love them.
I've always built my pc's from the time I was around 12 until about 22. Every 3-6 months I'd always build a new one, it was a hobby. When I turned 22 and got a real job, I started using Dell XPS machines at work and loved them. When I wasn't doing as much programming, I started using laptops, first a Toshiba, then a Dell, and now two Alienware's.
Just the pure stability of a manufacture built machine blows away anything that was ever home built. Not to mention how quiet they are, lack of cable clutter, etc...
You might pay a premium for the Alienware name, but I have no complaints.
Oh yeah, I don't have a game installed on either ;)
