Earlier this week I purchased what was once a $2000 / £1900 Alienware Gaming PC for just £150. So what's inside, and how do it's specs hold up today? Thansk for watching :)

They used to be, specifically before Dell bought out their company. I used to buy their PC once in 2005 which it was Area 51 ALX. I bought them in their website, back when they used to do a boutique custom built, made in Miami with an alluminium brief case and leather attache and a bunch of cool stuff based on what were they offer on their PC customizable in their website so I am happy with what I was paying back then, same as how people glad with what they paid for the gaming rigs like Voodoo, and Falcon Northwest PC. It's definitely worked pretty great until now and I'm just gonna upgrade it. OG Alienware's Customer service was greater than what Dell did on Alienware stuff right now.

@@PassportBrosBusinessClass Income is More Important Even if you don't have to enter employment information, the credit card application will require you to list your total annual income. You can include alimony, child support, or any other income you want to be considered for repaying your credit card balance. To calculate your total annual income: multiply weekly income by 52; multiply bi-monthly income by 24; multiply income you receive every other week by 26, and multiply monthly income by 12. Listing Someone Else’s Income If you’re an adult over age 21, you can use someone else’s income on your credit card application if you can reasonably expect to have access to that income to pay your bills. For example, if your spouse regularly transfers a certain amount of money to your account, you can use the amount that’s transferred as your income. Or, if you have shared an account with someone else and have access to all the funds, you can use the regular deposits as your income. However, if your spouse, partner, or parent does not transfer money to you and you do not have joint access to an account with them, you cannot use their income on your credit card application. Get a Credit Card With Someone Else Another option for getting a credit card without a job is to get a credit card with another person either as an authorized user or as a joint account holder. As an authorized user, you have the right to use the credit card, but without the legal responsibility to pay. Your income and credit history are not considered when you’re added as an authorized user. Being a joint account holder gives you both the rights and responsibilities of using the credit card. When you apply jointly, your income and credit history are considered alongside that of the other applicant. However, if the other applicant has enough income, you can be approved for the credit card even if you don’t have a job. Try a Secured Credit Card While secured credit card applications will often ask about your employment and income, you’re more likely to be approved for one of these credit cards because you’re making a security deposit as collateral. With the Capital One Secured MasterCard, for example, you can make a security deposit as low as $49 for a $200 credit limit, depending on your creditworthiness. The higher your security deposit, the higher your credit limit will be. The Discover it Secured is another good option for a secured credit card. This one pays rewards on your credit card purchases. Before you apply for a credit card without first having a job, carefully consider your ability to repay the credit card balance. If you’re approved for a credit card and you don’t have the means to repay your charges, you face credit troubles: late payments, charge-offs, and debt collections.

@@ajmalhadi97 Perk 1: Zero Liability Most credit cards, including those from Chase, offer a zero liability policy for fraudulent credit card charges. According to the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you can only be liable for up to $50 in fraudulent credit card charges anyway - certain issuers just take it a step further. How it works: According to the Federal Trade Commission, “Your liability for unauthorized use of your credit card tops out at $50. However, if you report the loss before your credit card is used, the FCBA says you are not responsible for any charges you didn’t authorize. If your credit card number is stolen, but not the card, you are not liable for unauthorized use.” How it works in real life: If someone steals your credit card or credit card number, or if you notice transactions on your account that you didn’t make, you simply need to call your card issuer and file a claim. In most cases, your bank will issue you a credit while they conduct an investigation. If you truly are a victim of fraud, this process should be rather painless. However, you may be required to submit documentation or sign an affidavit.

I bought one of these back in 2011 for work. I opened it up recently and was amazed (like the video) to find that there was virtually zero dust in it. I have put some new SSd's in it and all it needs now is a up to date video card and it would still fly. On the back of buying this AW PC for work, in 2013 I bought a 18 inch laptop for home (780m SLI, 32gb ram, i7-4900QM) as my main gaming/work PC (adobe stuff). A few days ago I took out the original v-nand C drive and 5400rpm 1tb secondary drive and replaced both with new 1tb samsung 860 EVO drives. Its still an absolute beast. I have had zero issues with it - none of the drives I replaced failed, I just thought "it was time" and "just in case". Despite the initial cost, the build quality is peerless and I have never had a PC last as long or age as well as my AW laptop.

Nice video, I always love these 3rd Generation Alienware videos. I currently use a r4 of that same case but with a i7 4820K on the 2011 platform. I will say the pre-build gaming rig of the R1 time generation isn't the Alienware Aurora R1 you have there, you can sometimes find them on decent deals but often the Alienware name hikes up the price. Its Dell Cousin is your often your best find from 2008-2009. With Aurora's big brother the Area 51 looking really nice and being almost twice the size of the Aurora its a beast, but the Dell XPS 730x rocks the same Motherboard and same RGB light as the Area 51. But because it holds the 100% Dell badge it is often over looks when compared to its Alienware cousins keeping the price much lower.

I atually helped someone rebuild this exact model once. The hardest part of it was solving the connections between the power switch and the mother board since it had been gutted and then had the parts given back in a seperate box. With everything disconnected I had to try and figgure out how the case manager circuit board interfaced with everything else. It comes with a case safety and lighting manager along with a case fan manager which was all unplugged and it refused to switch on until I plugged certain fans and components into the case manager. Was a beast machine though and with a nice ram and GFX upgrade it ran more modern games with fairly little effort.

I remember back in our LAN days, if someone rolled up with an Alienware he was the king (and his dad probably rich AF). That where the days, when you were a "high-performance enthusiast" because your GPU had a fan on it, and having to remove the sidepanel so your system doesn't overheat was really just a flex.

Also TWO 295s in SLI! A 2-GPU card in a dual configuration B^). Since the OEM memory was messed with, I doubt the Geforce GTS 240 was the original card since even back then that card was a pile of shit.

Hold on... Alienware was bought out by Dell; Then things went down hill. Back in the day... I was competition for the top of the range Alienware systems. They would be beaten with my budget systems. But budget was still a good mid/top system. The GT ultima glx was 60% less in price and had 40% better performance. The style was around the same, just slightly smaller.. I've only chucked the case of the last surviving one If only I could attach a picture you would see how similar they are. That system had mods carried out but the alx is actually older that you think. The problem your seeing was that the performance mod on these system was not only in better hardware (cherry picking) and the over clocking but also in the slimming of the software (OS) this combination was the way Alienware managed to be top of the most wanted. A lot of well paid advertising and "benching" which formed a lot of their advertising by covert means and then the following occured. They really were struggling when Dell took over and it was some years before things got up and going. Hardcore programmer's and followers never really got over the "it's just a over priced dell" thing; as you may know Dell borrowed a lot of Alienware to bring out its own "performance" systems and laptops. Many of my GT Ultima systems still are around today, though they would be modified by now or sold and dismantled. But many of the system were custom built for purpose and still run as originally designed and built. Some Costing over £7000 it wasn't going to be a use for a year or two and then buy a new one.. that's car money!! But as you have said, the price and ease to build your own is now a lot better and the margins so small I got out of the game a long time ago. I would say that these days I'm out of touch and days at the top of international benching are way gone... To much work for little rewards. But I'm liking the new stuff thats out and I've done some upgrading and have been on the hunt for a new styles system, I won't be taking much with me from my now dated system as over the years there is now a 20-30% performance difference. Yes not a lot, but enough. Nice find..
