    Haven't had a desktop in 15 years. This exceeded my expectations. Only thing I would do differently is I woulda paid another 200$ for the 4070 to make it game proof for newer gaming titles in the next couple years. I got it for school and gaming. It's fast user friendly and pretty much a plug and play. Doesn't make a sound since I've been playing. I've played on Ultra settings and have only encountered a couple lags. But I believe it was because I was in a high ping lobby playing Arma 3. Highly recommend to people that just wanna game with minimal setup. Just make sure and download all drivers and check weekly in AAWC for updates as this computer is brand new this year.

    Very good price for a fast, reliable computer. It's quite a bit bigger than I expected, but that's okay. It's fast, very quiet, and not prone to overheating.

    Fast, quiet and gorgeous. Purchased recently, and tried running a few apps, browsing , etc. Seems to work pretty well for what i need it. It's not just for gaming, Can be used for anything really. Looking forward to a long fruitful relationship.

    I like this system very much. It has a small alien face in the front which makes it look better in my room, and with the lights from the cpu case, my room shines. I am using this computer to work from home. It is very fast, does not make a sound when you work, and I believe, for such specs, the price I bought this was reasonable.

    I haven't had it very long, nof have I had time to reply get into it's actual power but this really feels good to use. The games I have played run smoothly and it's much quieter than I originally thought. At first I thought the inner lights would be too distracting but overall this feels great.

    I bought this computer for simulator racing and it does everything I need it to. iRacing looks really sharp; runs most assets on high quality at 85 FPS. Counter-Strike 2 runs in 4K60 no problem. Some higher end games will run just fine, but you might not get the best graphical quality out of them (Cyberpunk, for example) This PC is VR-capable, also, so I’m excited to try that at some point. Alienware has a lot of haters and whatnot, but a lot of it is underserved; at least with this tower. This PC comes with a standard $10 Dell keyboard and $5 Dell mouse; great quality, but no Alienware branding on either - that was disappointing.

    Awesome gaming computer. Especially for the Blizzard games I play. I can have the graphics in game set on the guest settings and Framerate sticks around 60fps. The first thing I did was install a Samsung 990 4TB drive and cloned it from the original 1TB drive using Alienware cloning software that came with the computer system. Next upgrade will be the ram.

    Bought for my 11 year old to game and edit videos on for Xmas. A little over a week in and he seems to love it! Runs very quite was simple to set up and seems to run smooth. Probably a little more than what he needs but would rather have him have too much than not enough when it comes to gaming
