you can customize these to lots of different colors when you buy one.

Dam. That's 1 fine piece of mobile power. Sheer beast, only thing I would do is disable all of the outside lighting, OC it just a tiny bit, and just go to town on some of the newer games while I'm on the go

I was going to say "hideous". The all-black model: slightly less hideous.

Not even just when you buy one, the whole thing is software configurable. Someone's even made a Winamp plugin for it:

That was what I thought too, until I saw it first hand (everyday, in fact). It will slowly grow on you, and you can choose to get the black cover instead if you dislike the clash.

I (personally) think it looks funky even though I am not that young. For these who cannot digest the Alienware’s aesthetics’ I would suggest to look at other powerful alternatives such as EUROCOM http://www.eurocom.com/ monsters, with more toned down looks and much more conservative lines. However, they have price tag to match if not higher.
