Which would you choose if you had two equally spec'd and equally priced pre-builts (~$1,700 USD for 8700K + 1080Ti + 16GB RAM + 240GB SSD)
Alienware New Aurora or ABS?
ABS Example: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883102517&Description=ABS battlebox&cm_re=ABS_battlebox-_-83-102-517-_-Product
ABS I'd never heard of before, looks like Newegg bought them to be their pre-built brand, it's really just various Newegg components put into a complete system.
Alienware owned by Dell is a well known brand. I wonder if their return policy is bad / annoying to deal with? Is Newegg return policy known for being good?
I suspect it would be easier to upgrade things like RAM in the ABS as it's just off the shelf components whereas Dell uses weird brand-less components.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
