alienware cases

[lbmcleod]

hi, just wondering if anyone knows a place (retailer/etailer/supplier - anything) to get one of those Silver Alienware cases as shown here. The site says they are exclusive to alienware, but somebody's gotta make them. I'm in the UK so a uk supplier wud help but if u can help and ur from the USA (or anywhere else for that matter) then post as wel. all help appreciated.

thanks

Highly doubtful man. Those were custom made with a 5 figure cost to alienware, so I highly doubt your gonna find one by itself. Its nothing more then a 1030 case wit the fancing covering attatched to it. Which is fine, nothing wrong with that.

they cannot be bought end of story. they where made for AW and only AW you wont find them anywhere else unless someone bought a AW and sold the case.

you can read the FAQ about the AW cases here
just scroll down frm the first post and there is your answer about AW cases

yup, you gotta by an alienware system to get them

They were made exclusive because everyone started using those chieftec, antec, chenming whatever lookalikes... even worse when they painted them green just like alienware. now they're avoiding that same problem by having an exclusive case... so people like you and me can't get it. I bet they have a copyright on that design too.

you could alwasy try E-Bay, if u cant find them anywhere else, which i doubt you can

yeh thkz for all da help, they are basically a cheiftec dragon wiv custom plates on the front/sides and are made for alienware by a company in taiwan, clevo, who make all their cases, including the cheiftec ones. i spect the same company makes cheiftec and antec cases too and sells em to cheiftec/antec.

I think I still like Falcon NW custom exotic paint jobs the best...

 

[Corporate Thug]

falcon NW is better than AW in all aspects

 

[Icewind]

I beg to differ Shady
