Alienware has always been the logical choice for any gamer who were more inclined to the "Branded" PC. Its position was never threatened, either due to its sheer power or that no one ever cared to. Either way some wise guys had an idea of bringing something way more sensible rather than just raw power. Its our own folks in India who decided its time we ended this mad rage and brought out our own class of Branded gaming PCs. A great man always said "You can learn well from your own mistake, But you can learn way better from others mistakes". Exactly what happened here...
So let me introduce you to the Brag RB11.
This little baby can knock the sock off any game in its way.
Well what i really felt great about this computer is the way its hardware components were specifically chosen and designed. Building computer is not a game with Lego set where you just take matching pieces and build the system. It takes a lot of effort and planning, mainly coz your system is inevitably gonne become a piece of junk in a while. Its just the matter of how long its gonna stay "usable".
And i must say Brag RB11 has done some serious business here.
To begin with lets compare it to its inspiration, the Dell Alienware Aurora.
The Alienware comes with the following specifications. More discussed in link given.
Dell Alienware Aurora ALX:
Processor: Core i7 980 Extreme 12MB L3 Cache [6 cores]
Chipset: X58 chipset with LGA 1366 socket
Ram : 24 GB DDR3
HDD: 2 x 320 GB [Velociraptor]
Graphic Cards: 2 x ATI Raedon HD 5870
Blue Ray combo, Windows 7 Ultimate etc etc
Now the mistakes:
1: The processor:- Unless you are trying to hack a website with brute force methods or create a game similar to Max Payne you seriously dont need this Rs 55,000 worth processor.
Brag PC rectified this little problem and built its system around a Core i7 950 Processor which still does the trick.
2: Very low memory: The Alienware boasts its PC has 2 Western Digital Velociraptor Hard disk [claimed to be the fastest]. But is it worth? Considering the fact that each costs around 12,000 just for 320 GB its a seriously dumb deal unless you are running a high speed server. Brag PC has again come up with an innovative idea [Truly Indian]. Instead of loading windows in a typical HDD it dedicated an 40 GB SSD for this cause. The read write speed of SSD surpasses HDD with a really wide margin [proper 200Mb/s without any startup time]. This means Windows load within seconds like auto-running a USB stick. A 1 TB HDD does the rest of the job of keeping your files safe for further use.
3: Other peripherals: Brag understood that Blurays and USB are the thing of the future while having hyped up config is useless. Keeping this in mind it never left out anything and you can find all the specs which you are looking for in any "other world" gaming rig. This definitely is a serious problem for Alienware.
4: Price: Costing as much as a car, nobody is even going to imagine about getting this computer as a gift. While Alienware Aurora comes for INR 3.00 Lacs the Brag RB11 cost just 86 k [After some basic additional customization, initial being 56 k not including i7 980 or other high configs]. This, right here, is a serious reconsideration for all you hard core gamers there looking for you dream rig.
The config we used:
Processor: Core i7 950
RAM: 3 x 2GB G Skill Ripjaws
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58a-UD5
Graphic Card: Sapphire Radeon HD6870
Memory: WD Caviar Green 1 TB and OCZ Onyx 40 GB SSD
Blueray drive, Windows 7 professional [64 bit], MZXT Phantom Cabinets etc etc
