The rumors have been circulating around for a while, but all of that was put to rest yesterday. That’s right, Dell finally announced that it will acquire maker of high-priced, over rated PC systems, Alienware.
Apparently no one was really thinking of the Dell brand when it came to high-end, performance PCs. Go figure. Dell hopes that the acquisition of Alienware will change that. If I had money to bet, I’d be willing to say people will continue to think ill of Dell and more people will begin to think twice about Alienware. But, I’m just a geek, so what do I know.
Don’t take my word on it, here places you can find thoughts from other geeks. 
I think I’ll continue to build my own systems.
