Abstract: We rarely cover gaming rigs here at Pocket-lint, but there's something so iconic and, well, downright insane about the Alienware Area-51 that we couldn't resist. Or maybe the Greys have taken over our brains. Far from flying in from a land far away and m...
Abstract: Finally, there's a little more news on the Alienware Alpha, Alienware's Windowsbased (for now) hybrid between a PC and console which you can read more about in our Gamescom coverage. Alienware says it is still targeting a preChristmas release date, and...
Abstract: For such a supposedly secret location, that Area 51 sure does turn out a lot of computers.OK, let's be serious for a moment. Laughing in the face of this "recession" business, Alienware's latest, the Area-51 X-58, starts at $1,649 (£1,100) and quickly ...

A rock solid, match ready, gaming maestro that rips through Crysis or Unreal Tournament 3 with all the ease of the real Alien dispatching a wheelbarrow full of assorted puppies and kittens. Razor sharp tech for serious gamers only. Alienware Area-51 is...
Cost-effective for a £4,200 PC; more storage than we've ever seen before on similarly priced models
Clunky Alienware case; overclocking reserved for a still higher-end Alienware system; no HDMI output
Even if we have a few reservations about this system, we can't deny that Alienware has an outstanding deal on its hands. It offers the same core hardware and twice the storage capacity as PCs that cost £1,000 more. High-end bargain hunters, assuming t...
Abstract: Alienware computers are never cheap but if you dont mind parting with serious chunks of your salary, youll end up with the coolest style icon with gaming power to match. Alienware - Area-51 7500 Desktop price Buy Alienware Area-51 7500 Desktop secur...
