"Don't know what is the cooling hardware, but Alienware hardware means lower end motherboard, green PCB Reference Design PCB used GPU and other SI related components ( value rams, low perf. SSDs etc ) . Still doesn't justify the $15K cost.
I'm perfectly happy with my 72" x 30" Uplift desk and sitting the desktop case + speakers on it.
Definitely more suited for gaming events(i.e. thinking back to the LAN events/tournaments they had for Descent 2 back in the day).
The desk itself doesn't look too bad, but I could do without the angled edges & would prefer it to be between 68"-72" wide and no more than 30" deep. Otherwise it ends up being more of a square and a waste of space. I haven't been able to find any specs on the exact dimensions at the OP's link, but if I had to guess, I would say its 45-48" Length x 34-36" Depth. It will have to be deep enough with having a desktop built into the center or knees will be banging into it.
With the lack of detail, it doesn't seem like they're bringing anything new to the table and I don't put much stock in Alienware products except the fact that they're way overpriced & cheaply made. While gaming is big, not worth investing in Glytch at this point unless they're going to be doing something truly revolutionary, which doesn't seem to be the case.
- Too deep
- Too narrow
- Gaudy AF for reasons other than sponsorship logos
- Distracting game-sync lights are not what pro players want or need.
It's still a joke even before the pricetag makes you splutter your coffee into the screen, because $15000 per desk still gets you several events worth of carpenters to erect and decorate a custom-made piece of furniture for the stage in question in less time than it takes the electricians and stage hands to get everything else in place.Centered, fixed position monitor that is both too far away and in the wrong position for both right-handed and southpaws alike.Ah okay, the video render is different to the still render. There's a dubious-looking swivel mount.No top-mounted USB ports for headphones/mic.and some USB ports that are at least present (but too far back and too centered)something$15000, right?
