The Swap Meet / (SOLD) Alienware 51 R2 $900
« Last post by Mr.Tibbs on July 18, 2017, 05:52:23 PM »Up for sale is an Alienware 51 R2 desktop machine. I have had this machine for almost three years and came across a deal on another machine that I could not pass up. So I am putting this up for sale as I do not need two gaming computers. Looking for $900 but I am negotiable. Specs are as follows
Inte 5820k 3.30 GHZ
16GB DDR4 2133MHZ
Three EVGA 980GTX video cards, and SLI Bridge
Killer Networks Gigabit Lan and AC Wifi
Creative OnBoard Audio
1500W PSU
Liquid Cooler on CPU
Room for 3.5 HDD x3
Room for 2.5 SSD x2
No Hard Drives included, removed for security reasons. The 3.5HDD are the only bays that support RAID. the 2.5 SSD do not support RAID
For any members of staff I can facilitate delivery. Anyone else you would either pick up or pay to ship. This computer is quite heavy so it will probably not be cheap to ship..
Dell Service # 942WR22
Machine was a refurb that I purchased off ebay a few years ago and have added to it since then. The SLI bridge alone cost me $135, and it is purpose built for this machine. It has all the essential cables to run three graphics cards, again at my expense to get it this far.
One of the side panels does not light up. Again one of the side panels of the case does not light up. It was working a few months after I bought the unit then it stopped working. I know it is the panel as they are interchangeable, but I never got it fixed. If you have it up against a wall just use the one working panel, the broken one would need to be taken apart and some boards replaced. It is not difficult to disassemble but I just never got around to it. Also the unit is equipped with a DVD RW Drive it is an 8x I believe, just a standard laptop drive. That is fully functional.

Rooms were new and very comfortable, I was given the Eisenhower rate without asking for it. I saw the reviews and had the same concerns that you posted about, booked the aspire as suggested by one of the reviews. My room had two king beds and a pull out sofa queen, split three ways it was dirt cheap.

This is really frustrating. Our crew of ten people decided not to attend this year specifically because the Eisenhower had such awful reviews (bloodstained sheets, bugs, etc.). None of the communications we received ever mentioned that we'd actually be in a different venue. None of the event pages mentioned this either.
Even when FITES staff weighed in earlier on this thread, none of them ever said "Hey, we know the Eisenhower looks bad but don't worry about it; we'll be in a different venue."
Maybe next year, communication will be better.
We weren't in a different venue. We were in the Eisenhower's Grand Ballroom.
The Hotel never told us they were moving people who made reservations for the Eisenhower side to the Aspire side. They are the same hotel. You could have booked at either but they told us they'd only guarantee the room rate for the Eisenhower side.
You also didn't have to stay in either hotel.
