Yeah, idc what alienware haters say...there are ps3 haters and xbox haters too. This is pc gaming taking a nice step, in a great direction. This will be replacing my blu-ray player, and my xbox 360 soon. This is a powerful all in one, in my living room.

We already have casual gaming rigs, they're called Xbox 360 and PS3 XD

@TacticalLeo You can buy standard pc parts anywere as long as the chip set is supported . The CPU ram and gpu for sure . The only limit is the gpu power supply

[TacticalLeo]

So far I'm on the fence on this or a next gen Xbox. But Xbox is losing while the x51/pc in general seems to have my attention and it's peaking. But a question: once you have your x51 do you mean you can buy upgrades in a store or is it a one time deal when your making your custom x51 on their website?

[will25raiders]

Not to mention no more paying for X-box live if you go with a rig like this.

I'm really waiting to see benchmarks on the i3 build

[Diskdrive002]

It being upgradeable definitely got my attention.

I want this pc but I'm concerned about overheating in that small form. What do u guys think. Let me know some opinions b4 I order this in the next couple of days thanks.

[Ps3Homepage]

@killaC3P0 Yeah i want to know if this little thing will overheat too, its the only thing putting me off ordering

[kewlazpewp]

@Ps3Homepage It's got plenty of cooling, and the power supply is outside of the rig, like on a console.

idk how i missed this, damn youtube

[TheFoxshot]

oh my god. Next gen is going to be VERY interesting. it looks like its going to be Consoles Vs. PC Consoles. Which ones gives you more bang for your buck... fuck it. im going with Nintendo.

[merritt2014]

I am really thinking about getting an x51 since the next gen of consoles is looking pretty lame aside from the wiiu. The x51 is also upgradeable to an extent. The more powerful versions of the x51 can probably run a game like battlefield 3 on the highest setting with a pretty good framerate.

[Rockstar212911]

@merritt2014 It's totally upgradable, from everything from the desktop gpu to the desktop cpu, also this is not a console at all, it is still a full pc, just in a small htpc size.

[merritt2014]

@Rockstar212911 I know, but due to the size of the case, many newer gpu's wouldn't fit in it.
