Alienware IS a ripoff, and Dell is a bigger ripoff. If you don't think so, spend a few minutes searching for the same components from other venders. Find out what it would take to build your own, with exactly the configuration you want. That $600-1000 difference you see is the cost of a cool paint job and an alien head badge. Not worth it.
Do it yourself. And if you want to impress someone, do it with a demonstration of your modding skill and ingenuity rather than your willingness to throw money away.
...they are cool-lookin' though. ;-)
