Actually, I was quite surprised. I recently bought an Alienware PC, and once I factored in the $500 rebate (which I haven't yet received!), it was priced competitively. I also noticed that the rebate dropped from $500 to $300 and the overall price seemed to have gone up a bit about a week after I bought mine. The service has been great. My only real complaint is that it's a bit noisy.
