It's Official Dell Acquired Alienware
robyn217 writes "Dell just confirmed today that it had acquired boutique PC vendor Alienware. Alienware's Nelson Gonzalez said that his company will continue on with its own brand, design, sales and marketing, and support, though, so Alienware isn't going anywhere just yet. Gonzalez also said that Alienware PCs would not carry a Dell logo, and that he would report directly to Jim Schneider, Dell's chief financial officer. "I think that you'll find it very hard to find the Dell name on the [Alienware] web site," he said." The rumor is now fact.

Actually, $23,277 with 2 dual-core 2.5 GHz G5 processors, 16GB of ECC Memory, 2 500 GB SATA 7200 rpm hard drives, QUADRO FX 4500 512 MB video with two 30 inch Cinema HD displays, WiFi and Bluetooth, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, external USB modem, PCI Express Fiber Channel card (for use with XRAID), OS X Server edition, unlimited clients, and Final Cut Express pre-installed (XRAID not included). But it doesn't have that cool Alienware case mod.
Fiat actually does own Ferrari.
Actually, Saturn was started by GM, it wasn't acquired. For those of us who have gone through mergers and aquisitions of our companies, there is a difference.

you did, looks like the other guy didn't get AppleCare Protection Plan and saved $250 or whatever
We don't care.
Awful comparison.
Ferrari is owned by Fiat. Do you prefer a Grand Panda or a Civic?
If you had ever driven or been in a Ferrari, you would know that the build quality on a new Japanese produced Honda is better in terms of the details and finish. If Honda wanted to make Ferrari cost cars, then it would and probably would do it better. Oh, and you can put a Japanese custom ricer against a Ferrari that cost 2 or 3 times more on a quarter mile or track and the Ferrari will eat dust.
