Anyone know anything about the Alienware ALX? Nice to see another prebuilt system incorporating liquid cooling. The word "quiet" is actually used in their marketing!

It looks "pretty" sleek in some ways, but I'd be cautious about "silent" marketing.
There's way too many fans + PSU's alone that are marked as "silent" that aren't (unless you're deaf, or in a nearby bunker).
Marketeers are catching on to the fact that "silent" is a desired trait - who cares if it's true or not.
As a marketing director pointed out to us...
reality == perception.
perception == marketing.
I decided (for once) NOT to kill the day by arguing the flaws in this tainted logic. Propaganda, that's all it is...
