Absolutely amazing machine. I've owned one other Alienware before (M17 laptop), three different Mac's, and the rest have been custom builds. This is by far my favorite and best performing computer yet.

With this configuration, I paid a good price too considering all it's got. And the performance is fantastic.

Running Half-Life 2 Lost Coast stress test - 1920x1080, completely Maxed settings I get 260FPS!

Battlefield 3 runs at 1080P on Ultra settings at a very comfortable FPS (around 30FPS - I noticed no slow downs at all).

General performance is good too - that's web surfing, homework, working in Unreal Development Kit. It's all smooth as silk.

I was aware of some issues people were having with the GTX660 but I haven't had any issues with the A07 bios and latest nVidia drivers.

Regardless, Dell's support is simply the best. I've already gotten a few calls from them checking up to make sure I'm happy with everything, that I'm satisfied, and all is functioning properly (and one call about buying a warranty... but.. that's alright).

And I'm confident if I have any issues, they'll be there to help and there's plenty of ways to reach out to them.

Design is awesome too. I love AlienFX!! The nice design touches like the rotating Alien and LED's in the eyes and on either are great. Slot loading DVD drive looks super slick as well.

It's a tiny PC for all that's packed into it and while I'm playing games it amazes me that it's coming from that small and gorgeous package.

So to summarize we've got; great price, great performance, great service, great design. This is all around one stellar machine.
