zakobi Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 While looking at how insane expensive i could try to get a Alienware pc i noted some similarity between some of there stuff. Like this one Alienware TactX TM Mouse and this one G9x Laser Mouse? Or what about these two? Alienware TactX Headset and this one SteelSeries 5H v2 So what does people think?
Prophet4no1 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I have the SteelSeries head set. Really like them. For the most part, Alienware is overpriced crap. they are owned by Gateway now. At least I think it's Gateway. They lost everything thatt made Alienware great back in the day. Now they are just overpriced and bloated like any other mass built PC. You actually can build a better system for less. Unless you really want that case, build your own. I'm pretty sure those two devices are licenced copies of the other two as well. Alienware does not make any of thier own stuff any more. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Personally i like the "originals" way more... is even considering the headset as soon i get money for it tho... Back to on-topic, i think the mouse looks like a downgraded version of the G9x, considering no weight adjustments etc...
talisman Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 in short - same thing (re-branded) Think Compaq and HP. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No - Its a Stinger - Damn....... My Pit - http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=42253

I build all my own systems and build them for others. It's cheaper and you don't get all that bloat software that comes with a store baught PC. The only ones still worth looking at are the companies that are pure performance companies. Like my buddies Darkside PC's, Voodoo, Falcon Northwest, and a few others. But you pay a bit more. On the plus side you get a stable overclocked rig that saves the time, some times days worth, of bumping then stress testing and bumping more. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hitman Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 gateway bought em out...personally i never liked alienware anyways. ugly towers, too much cosmetics, and too expensive.
