At about the size of the original PS3, and starting at $699, this seems like a decent option for pc gaming users.
Some specs (from IGN): Measuring at just 13.5 inches tall, 12.52-inches deep and 3.74-inches thick, the X51 is comparable in size to the original PlayStation 3. With a slot-loading disc drive, it can stand both horizontally and vertically, making it suitable for both desk and entertainment center use. As you would come to expect from Alienware, the chassis sports black matte casing, alien-themed accents and customizable LED illumination. In terms of performance, the X51 will come in eight different SKUs, with the entry-level model starting at $699. The baseline model will come with a dual-core 3.3GHz Intel Core i3-2120, 4GBs of RAM, 1TB hard drive and NVIDIA's GeForce GT545. More expensive variations will include quad-core 3.0GHz Intel Core i5-2320 and 3.4GHz Intel Core i7-2600 CPUs, up to 8GBs of RAM, as well as NVIDIA GeFore GTX555 GPUs. Additionally, the top tier model, which will retail for $1,199 will offer a Blu-ray drive. Unlike other Alienware desktops, the X51 will be easily upgradable with a custom-built chassis that makes swapping out the video card, motherboard, RAM or CPU simpler than ever. In terms of connectivity, all models will offer integrated 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, as well as six USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI output and optical audio output.
I'll need to buy a computer later on, so this could be a nice option for gaming/video editing for me.
Bloomin' heck, they sound pretty nice. Starting at $700, that's not bad at all. I'd rather have me something portable though, but I might look into one.
EDIT: Oh, I just realised they are portable. Yay, looks like another option for me.
@LordTendoboy: Alienware has been owned by Dell for probably at least 5 years now, maybe a little less. I've never heard of Voodoo.

Voodoo is another computer company something like Alienware that is owned by HP, THey are pretty much like Alienware was before they were bought out by Dell.
As long as the parts are swappable, I'm happy. I hate Dell for their non-swappability, and I haven't so much as looked at an Alienware since Dell bought them up I'm hoping they didn't pick up too much off of them. I'd probably do this, but I'd need a damn good processor. Mine is bottlenecking the hell out of my current PC, and it's the hardest part to swap out, so I'm looking to future-proof

Dell PC's aren't customizable? Isn't that the whole point of owning a PC?
