"Alienware eschews the traditional tower form and packs a host of high-end components into a cool black cube."

It's a Shuttle OEM box, an increasingly successful format. Looks nice in black, and the remote looks a bit sleeker than my ATI. I'll buy one of the new AMD+AGP XPCs early next year. Most of what makes a full-fledged PC in half the size. I've seen one in a store and they're more noisy that I thought though.
