Dell is offering five Alienware Area-51 Threadripper Edition base configurations, with pricing starting at a whopping $2,999.99. All five systems from Alienware feature the Threadripper 1950X processor but price/performance-wise you're not getting a good deal here. The cheapest Alienware configuration features the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, has just 8GB DDR4-2667, and a 2TB HDD.
As was reported a couple of weeks ago, Threadripper will be an Alienware exclusive until the end of 2017. There will be no Threadripper systems from other major OEMs until 2018, but this exclusivity deal does not apply to smaller outfits.
iBUYPOWER is also listing Threadripper configurations on its website. They charge $1,699 for the most basic configuration. That system features the Threadripper 1920X, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1060, the Gigabyte AORUS X399 Gaming 7 motherboard, 8GB DDR4-3000 and a 1TB HDD.
Nice find VideoCardz.
