Alienware, the high-end gaming computer manufacturer, has begun accepting Bitcoin as payment for its machines.
The company announced as much via Twitter Thursday afternoon:
Alienware now accepts Bitcoin! For a limited time, get up to $150 off when using this payment method! http://t.co/seXdeeC0wC

This isn’t necessarily a surprising move. The company is a subsidiary of Dell, who announced earlier last week they would be accepting Bitcoin payments as well. However, the decision was not forced upon them, since Alienware operates as a separate entity.
Alienware is also offering a sale to promote their acceptance. Customers who pay in Bitcoin can receive up to $150 off their order.
Alienware computers are known to be high-performance machines often used for gaming. However, those who wish to mine cryptocurrency using their GPU will have an easier time than with the average desktop, though likely not enough to offset the cost of their machine in the first place.
Now Alienware Will Take Your Bitcoins Too
