    I encourage anyone considering buying Alienware pre-builts to go to Youtube and search for GamersNexus in depth review of these things. The thermals are generally awful as there is no airflow in this cramped case. Of course Dell has proprietary parts all over the place so good luck! Build your own! Or at least go with a more reputable pre-built brand. Dell might be fine for home office work, but NOT for gaming.
