I have tons of ideas but never seen to have the ability to get to second base on them... I don't know, maybe reading more about what you write might help. Maybe you can dedicate a post specifically towards thing... a Guide or quick reference manual for executing your excellent ideas and turning them into something real. I am a smart guy, and I also know about to get traffic to sites and I know how to market it and all that... but it always seems that is as far as it goes. So, with the knowledge I have, I still lack other elements into turning many ideas and dreams into a success. Although I am getting better at it, but I think a post like this would help hundreds if not thousands of people. Whether your goal is to make money online, motivate and influence a view or opinion, preach the word of God, etc... whatever you want to do, can be done... but there needs to be a guide or a rule book, or something that one can use that will help lead the way or paint the path... I think I am getting it... but with your experience and education, these ideas should come pretty second nature to you now.

If the gaming masses knew that Dell was manufacturing the PC's, I think there might have been a decrease in brand appeal. Very well said though! Garry - You know, you raise some fantastic points. And you sum up something I have been struggling with in writing for a while.. "Experimental business.." I like it.. Definitely more on that to come. I like the idea a lot. Oftentimes, we learn more from failures or near failures than we do from successes... Now, I will just have to get stories put together to support that.. Hans – I absolutely agree with you..

Definitely more on that to come. I like the idea a lot. Oftentimes, we learn more from failures or near failures than we do from successes…

Now, I will just have to get stories put together to support that..

I really enjoyed reading it. I remember Alienware a few years ago and it is just amazing how fast they grew and how successful they have become. This in itself is why I read your blog. I am pretty successful with getting traffic to sites and I do pretty good with search engine marketing and search engine optimization... also, I have many great ideas. These are two elements that can deliver success in business. Having a good idea is not optional. What I like most about your site is you and your experience with <strong>trial and error business</strong>. Most everyone can come up with a great idea... but there are only a few that know how to execute their ideas and convert them into something successful. With that said, I would really enjoy reading more on the site that touch on these aspects of business. It's one thing to wake up and think of a neat idea, it's also nice to know how search engines work and how to market your idea on the Internet... but where your expertise falls into place is executing all the elements of experimental business and creating something we would all consider a success. I want to read more about that. Perhaps you can comment back with some quick links that point to articles you have already written... and maybe that is something we can look forward to reading more in the future. Thanks for sharing the story and providing such a useful and informative blog. Keep up the excellent work! Garry Jason,

One thing I do like is that the Alienware name is intact. Their site is still up as if they are independant of Dell. This way, Alienware doesn not lose its brand name and recognition. Smart move. The gaming audience would've been turned off more if they moved it under the Dell umbrella directly. Gamers like to believe they are buying something special, kind of like buying an Alienware as an elite pc gamer status symbol. Good buy for Dell, and I'm sure the folks at Alienware were happy when they got the deal. I haven’t seen anythings in regards to that. One thing I do like is that the Alienware name is intact.

I am not sure how it bodes for the gaming audience, but it makes sense to Dell. The business models mimic each other, the only difference being Alienware's high price tags. Dell has the distribution model down though. I looked around briefly for a price tag in that deal. Do you remember seeing anything Hans? I like the Dell acquisition.

They did a great job capturing the hardcore gaming audience. They packaged powerful hardware that you couldn't get in a normal electronics store like Best Buy or Circuit City and combined it with innovative, sleek designs. Its pricetag is hefty, but understandably so. A top of the line graphics card costs around $600 (NVIDIA, I'm looking at you). I'm curious, though, how do you feel about Dell purchasing them now?

They are awesome computers. My friend has one and loves it! The one thing I don't know is whether or not they build their own motherboards? Have you heard anything? Sometimes they don't list the motherboard specs and I am just curious.. LOL! They are awesome computers.
