Alienware Launches 4-GPU CrossFireX PC

[Osiris]

Hot on the heels of the Catalyst 8.3 driver release, Alienware launched their new gaming PC, the Area-51 ALX CFX. The 4 GPUs come courtesy of paired ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 video cards, which we reviewed here. Pricing starts at US$5149.

well, at least the price is not too bloated...

I wonder how much a similar setup would cost if you were to make it yourself

2x 3870X2 = ~$900

QX9650 = ~$1000


You've got barely $2000 covered there on the most expensive components - I can't see the rest of the components covering $3000...

Nice. Hey is that my keyboard and mouse??? I think so.

Thats not really for someone like me, it would really drive me to poverty and hunger if I would buy that thing! T_T... Can anyone give an estimate on how much a system would cost to run a game like Crysis, Assassins Creed and the likes in high setting? (not ultra high, just high right ;D)

You can custom build one that'll do that for about $1200, roughly.

Ah I see, so its possible to have a cheaper one that does the job. The only problem is things or technology these days constantly gets obsolete so fast. I hope when I finally complete building a new rig, it would still do the job of the of the new introduced tech. or games.
