Alien invasion

Published 2026-07-19

My home/work PC died, so I picked up this Alienware Aurora Desktop. I have to say I really like it so far.

Expensive?  Yes.  Worth it in my opinion?  Yes.
Expensive? Yes. Worth it in my opinion? Yes.

It's freakin' fast, and the GPU serves two purposes: shredding password hashes for work by day, and serving up PC games for fun at night!

I know Dells are a bit more than the average desktop, and someone will point out "You could've built one for much cheaper!" And I will always love wandering aimlessly around Micro Center, geeking out on computer hardware and talking endlessly to the lovely high school nerds Worth have 10x more knowledge about computers than I'll ever have. But I finally feel like I'm too old to mess around with having to bring something back to Micro Center HQ for troubleshooting/repair because a 7-10 day turnaround time just won't cut it for me anymore now that I use my PC for fun and business.
