Hey guys. Could you tell me if is held be looking into getting the high end x51(standard, not customizing the parts.) or the lower end aurora. I've heard that the aurora is easier to upgrade in the future ?

Thanks,
Adam

Why not build your own computer? That would be best. But I would go for the aurora, more upgradability, options for modifications and looks cool :)
If it's a lan rig then go for the x51 but either way I feel that you should build a computer yourself and if you just want the case, you may be able to find it on ebay or amazon.

IMO your better off getting a build from a brand like ASUS. Everyone here will recommend building your own PC, but you can take your time with that. Alienware products are extremely overpriced, so you will just be paying for the brand and some fancy lighting. You could go for something else and get better performance with a better price.

Could you link me some gaming pc's made by Asus that would compete with the Alienware model that I was looking at (Bottom End Alienware Aurora.) :) thanks

The x51 is compact and can be transported with ease while the aurora is bulkier. But Sczw is right, if you like the alienware case, buy it off ebay, don't buy an alienware product. Asus is one of the highest quality brands out there so getting one over an alienware is a great option.
