I don't blame them. The motherboard market is dominated by Asus and to dig out a dug in competitor is just a very expensive and time consuming task.
Graphics cards they should just keep partnering with MSI and whatnot. Cheapest and easiest way to do it.

The mobo and GPU market is already flooded. Entering it would be hard, and you'd need to be very good to make it.
What board was in the Corsair One? remember that ITX thing? I think that would give a hint as to who they'll partner up with with Origin.
I know MSI partner with a few OEMs. My triad Alienware had a MSI board (still does actually) and an MSI sticker inside the case.

Corsair mostly works with MSI. I think they do the boards for most of their systems.

Ah OK yeah that makes sense. MSI seem to be able to manufacture cases and everything so instead of just slapping an Origin logo on existing cases and slightly modifying them MSI should be able to knock up unique chassis for them.
This may actually get quite exciting tbh.
I wonder if the sale means all of the old Alienware staff will be out of a job? I know that the company was originally started by ex employees of Alienware who all left when Dell took over.
