The equipment Alienware gamers are very popular in the market. Of course this is premium machine and generally are not cheap because of the powerful hardware that make up, although there is a way to reduce some of the price: changing the operating system. So, from now on, when we go to buy a  Dell Alienware X51 , we can choose if we want the traditional version with Windows or if you prefer to run with Ubuntu,the most popular distro of Linux. Teams using Ubuntu are priced about $ 100 less about, because after all it is a free operating system, unlike Windows.
The system comes pre-loaded with Nvidia drivers, so I do not have to worry about getting them.Remember also that Steam is now available for Ubuntu team and has several games to enjoy.
