    Slick deal going on right now for Alienware Alpha i3. I am excited to get this new unit and tinker with it as my HTPC. Dell has it for $399 after coupon and you will get an additional $70 rebate. That makes this unit $339 after rebates. Discover card offers 10% cashback on Dell purchases and some customers qualify for double cashback. Also I called to cancel and told them the Xbox 1 for $299 is a better deal for me and they offered me $50 on top to keep it. Slick slick deal.


    What do you guys think of using this machine and is it worth $233.19 with the Xbox controller?

    $433.18 with Tax
    - $79.99 (Discover Double Cash Back)
    - $70 Rebate offer
    - $50 Sales Return Specialist Offer
    ------------------------------------------------------
    $233.19 after tax and all discounts + $17.50 dell 5% advantage credit.
