I guess you're the type of person to buy a ferrari kit car instead of the ferrari.

What are you on about?
I'm saying I recommend the components Alienware chooses to use. But that you could buy those same components and build an absolutely identical machine for near $1000 less. On a $3K purchase, that's significant.
But if the brand-name on the box it's delivered in is important to you, then ok, I agree I am not that type of person; the parts inside are all that matters to me.
And I offered a link to Alienware-like cases if cosmetics matter.
Dell, by comparison, also charges a lot for their highend models, but uses relatively inferior and/or generic components. That's not to say they're not stable. But you don't get what you pay for.
