They're not crap. They're overpriced.

I think you can overclock most of them.

Agreed - I don't think I've heard many say they are crap, but overpriced is correct.

My assumption is that you can OC - they are still normal hardware, and I don't believe they lock the BIOS (like more mainstream computers).

That is kinda like the underlying reason to buy one of them. They are built for gamers or performance buffs, that want to overclock and tweak.......
The are nice systems, but you pay a premium. You can buy all the exact parts and build yourself for half the money. But of course the one thing Alienware can do, is they run and test everything before they send it to you.
