This seems quite interesting here. Dell is introducing a new line of Alienware PCs that seem to target the console crowd in both price and design.
The Alienware X51 is actually about the same size as the original Xbox 360, runs about $699 for the i3-2120 model, and makes attempts to be a full featured gaming rig for those not wishing to build their own machine from scratch.
It's really not a bad idea, until you again realize you can still build your own machine with similar specs for less. But again, if you aren't very well versed in the world of PC building, this might be your best solution. There are also apparently going to be flavors that sport i5-2320 and i7-2600 cores priced at $899 and above.

The X51 delivers incredible power for its streamlined size, featuring Intel’s powerful 2nd generation Core I processors, NVIDIA GeForce GT or GTX class graphics cards with GDDR5 memory for intense gaming performance, Wireless-N technology for easy internet access, HDMI 1.4 for connecting to 3D TVs and watching 3D Blu-ray movies, along with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 for blistering fast data transfer to other devices.
In true Alienware fashion, no detail is overlooked. The Alienware X51’s chassis is designed with flexibility and style in mind. The desktop’s sleek matte black finish with dark chrome accents and three customizable lighting zones create a distinguished appearance and make a statement wherever it is used. Its dual-orientation chassis allows gamers to set-up the unit in either horizontal or vertical positions to customize the X51’s footprint for whatever space you may have available in your home entertainment area. It is also fully upgradeable, allowing X51 owners to quickly perform their own hard-drive, graphics, and memory upgrades quickly and easily, giving customers the added piece of mind that their X51 has added longevity.
