Alienware MCE PC: Sleek And Powerful

Alienware is known for building high-end gaming PCs, but don’t expect to be playing F.E.A.R or Prey or any other current 3D game on its new media center. While it features a top-notch AMD 64 FX-62 dual-core CPU, a 1,000-watt amp (yes, its own power amp) and an HDMI output for high-definition video, Alienware went with integrated graphics on this box. I know space is limited in this thing, but couldn’t you have maybe, just maybe, used a discrete mobile GPU? At least the MCE PC looks pretty damn good when compared to other MCEs out there right now.
The stock hard drive is 160GB, but you can upgrade to 1.5TB, just in case you need the extra space. High-definition video output, a fast CPU and power amp all in one MCE, and all for $1,000 isn’t a bad deal at all.

The word you’re looking for is “discrete”.

if any amplifier that is rated at 1,000 watts, and you’re looking at spending around $1,000 on it, you really have to consider how much bull you’re being fed. especially when its really only part of that $1000 you’re spending on the amp.
good idea, horrible execution, but that’s generally the case with alienware’s cheaper stuff.

I think that 1.5 TB is a bit much, but for some one who might have enough songs/vids ect to fill that space I think it would be worth it. I was reading it and i thought it would be proly around 2,500… 1000$ is great for something like that. alienware, youve come up with another brilant idea.
