Star Wars van-art PCs from Alienware

By at 4:27 am Tuesday, May 3

Alienware has licensed the right to create an official Star Wars PC from Lucas, and then squandered the opportunity by shipping a pair of stock PCs distinguished only by cheesy van-art airbrush murals on their sides (there's a Dark Side and a Light Side version, natch).

Compare this with the fan-built casemods, like the PC built into a vintage Millennium Falcon toy; and the state of the fan-art for gamer PCs, like the magnificent Doom 3 casemod, and you'll see just how phoned-in this Alienware effort is. What a bummer. Link (Thanks, Hundred!)
