    Watch out for this system boys, with 512MB of RAM (upgradeable to 1GB), a 40GB hard drive, and the unrivaled power of Intel Pentium 4, this platform outperforms everything on today’s market. This computer will outlive you, and then outperform you. Doubling as a massive brick, this machine takes the carries on the name Alienware straight to the museum.

    I loved that out of the box I was able to run Half Life 3 with 24 FPS!!! The performance of this machine out beats anything on the market today, it only takes my second cup of coffee before Im able to speed through the information highway I go. I would definitely recommend this machine to any professional whos looking to rule the buisness world and game on the side.

    All these kids and their fancy whiz bang 4090’s and Core i9 processors would be blown away by the power of this beastly machine. With the parallel port you can hook up your old dot matrix printer and print the latest ASCII art.

    Bestbuy wont provide a restock date.

    This isn't a reflection of the product, but rather Bestbuys unwillingness to let the people know when they will get more in stock. Feels like they're gatekeeping if you ask me.
