Dealhacker: Save Up To $600 On Alienware PCs

Dell is about to launch a new series of Alienware gaming machines – which means the old guard are now going for cheap. Well, “cheap” might be stretching it a bit, but you can score up to $600 off the RRP. Here are the best deals.

Granted, pre-built gaming desktops are way, way more expensive than the build-your-own variety. Gaming laptops are equally overpriced. Indeed, they remain a questionable proposition even during a big clearance sale like this one.

Nevertheless, if you like the distinctive look of Alienware’s machines or just want a fuss-free gaming rig that will work straight out of the box, these deals might be worth considering.
