    I think the Alienware case is cool looking, is it possible to get this case seperate without having to buy the complete PC?

    Alienware case's are btx I think, you cant buy motherboards for those...

    Raidmax do the best " Alienware Clone Stuff" while being Atx cases..

    I used to love Alienware cases a few years back, and always despised most of the fugly cases you would see home builders with. Then, one day you wake up and realise that a well thought-out case is far more appealing than a tarted up one.

    They are far more customisable and expandable, just look at some of the pics in the gallery, you could see 10 of the same case all tailored to the builders needs.

    The raidmax ninja is more alienware-like but its a clone of the older gen. of alienware cases.

    The new cases are gorgeous Id buy one if they could be gotten separately

    I actually saw an Alienware case in PC world in Waterford about 3 weeks ago...

    Nothing in it - just the case - dunno where they got it from but it was on the shelf anyway....

    Probably the Jeantech Nix. Nice looking case, used to have one.

    Yeah had one myself for about a week, nice looking but terrible air flow. Ebay seems to have a few alienware cases. But they are all BTX, so good luck finding a decent btx board :(

    Alienware cases are ATX. I bought a few of them off Ebay...both new style Predator2 (identical to that one pictured above), older Predator1 Star Wars Dark Side limited edition case and Predator old style ALX c/w watercooling kit!! Could be persuaded to sell some of these if the price was right as i've not got the time to incorporate them into new builds :)

    As far as I know Alienware are upside-down ATX as opposed to the full BTX standard... They use off the shelf Asus boards in a lot of their systems

    PC World sells a rip-off of the Alienware case. The Raidmax Ninja is the next best thing!
