Good 3D gaming performance. Innovative design. Roomy chassis. Side-panel lighting uses contacts instead of wires.
Huge tower. 128GB solid-state boot drive is on the small side. You need a 4K display to take advantage of the triple-GPU setup. Boutique gaming systems are still faster. Only one-year standard warranty

The affordable Alienware X51 brings innovation to slim-tower PCs by offering a full-size graphics card
Despite the big 3D card, the X51's slim-tower chassis still has a limited upgrade path
Alienware has successfully brought its brand to an affordable, suitably stylized package, and I can recommend the X51 to anyone in the market for a mainstream gaming PC.
Abstract: Video Review: From motorized vents for active cooling and a lit interior for easy access, the Alienware Area 51 Gaming PC offers an Intel hex-core processor, dual ENVIDIA GTX 480 video cards and 2 terabytes of storage for high end gaming needs. Kevin P...
Abstract: Speaking of green, the Area-51 is definitely one of the pricier options on the market. But with design and build quality and features like this, it’s certainly arguable that you get what you pay for.
Core i7-980X Benchmark Bruiser, Hot-Rod Chassis Design, Great Case Lighting, Wall of Storage Drive Cage, Water-Cooled Goodness, Killer Core i7-980 X Overclocks
Expensive For Sure, Drive Bay Not Hot-Swap, Expensive Extended Warranty
Dell's Alienware Area-51 "is what it is," as they say. It's big, bad, ridiculously powerful, seriously well-built, definitely expensive, and in our opinion, gorgeously designed and styled. The fit, finish and various high-end amenities of the machine pu...
Innovative chassis. Hard drive expansion is inspired. Dual graphics card performance. Clean software build. Ultimate in show-off PCs.
Expected better performance. No top tray: USB cords better be long. Loud at startup. Need extra vertical room for vents.
The Alienware Area 51 isn't necessarily the fastest gaming rig you can buy, but it is certainly fast enough to get you requisite victories on the game grid. Coincidentally, the system's looks and innovation will either blow your friends' minds...
Abstract: Alienware's latest Area 51 ($3,969 direct) epitomizes the bold, superior visual gaming company to a T. It's unmistakably a gaming rig for people who believe in spending money for exceptional aesthetics. It has a unique design and feature set. And it ma...
