14 DAY TRIAL // There are moments (and articles) when a picture says a thousand words. And every time I come across a new Alienware PC, I get the same feeling. Absolutely every product from Alienware is harder to describe by the day. A review of such monsters is almost futile. What matters most is how it looks and how it performs. And up until now, every single system they rolled out was a complete success.
Whether these PCs really look and feel different or it's just a question of brand cannot be told but one thing is for sure: Alienware rocks!
And this time, the band comes in form of the latest Area 51-7500 PC. Weird name for an ever weirder looking case. Some may like it while others will happily skip the looks and go straight home and test it. And let me tell you this PC can really deliver. It comes with a QX6700 quad core INTEL CPU (of course you can also choose the X6800 dual core CPU) and you can also go for a maximum 4GBs of Ram that will be coupled with the Nforce based motherboard. Video section can go from a single 7950GT to a SLI between two 8800 GTX cards taking the video memory to a whopping 1.5GB.
2-4 DVI HDCP capable ports are offered depending on the configuration and 1-4 hard drive units ranging from 250GB to 750GB of storage come preinstalled. The used interface is SATA 2 and the drives can be paired into RAID arrays. 1-2 optical units, Firewire and USB ports, HD audio and a 650W PSU also come as default. The PC itself is a dream machine but it will cost at least $3,500-$4,000 depending on the configuration. The system is available via Alienware's online shop.
