I tried looking up cheap alienware at ebay, amazon, newegg, usedalienware.com, etc,... I want to know a good bang for my buck alienware.
 
Easy, don't buy it. lol. Overpriced, overhyped PC's. I'd stay away from buying used. Just looking on usedellalienware site, and you could probably build a new pc that's better and faster than someones used PC.

what is your budget for a PC?
 
Don't look for "cheap Alienwares." Buy them from Dell or buy something else.



I will not argue with "overpriced," but explain why they are "overhyped."
 
I think they are overhyped because of the looks, they look AWESOME and most people I know think they are the best laptops and PC because of the looks and that ain't true, you can find cheaper laptops and PCs with more performance and lifespan.
 
Well you can buy a new PC from best buy with great specs for 866$ or 100$ :3

I saw a dell inspiron for 866$ and had 3rd gen i7-3700qm, 8GB RAM 1600MHz, 1TB 5400RPM and a GeForce GT 650M which is still a good card even against the new GTX 750m and a GTX 765m

Edit: I meant to say 1,000$ not 100$
