Being able to build and select the parts yourself is always going to be better.
Those alienware cases are ugly as hell too. Their shit is far more expensive. And as far as water cooling goes, I'm willing to bet that they're just putting in a shitty h50 to cool their cpu in order to call it water cooling. And those get outperformed by air coolers.
A real custom water loop is very expensive and could easily cost $1k on it's own if you plan to run loops through your cpu and gpus.
If you want some practice on building a computer, go pick up a box of legos and have at it. It's that easy.
it IS a waterloop rofl jesus kids so anti alienware its pathetic, ive priced each individual part on newegg and my alienware to my custom specs newegg is only 100-150 dollars cheaper,
and i prefer the convenience of the 1 year warranty(if ANYTHING goes wrong)
and professional installation it=worth it
