The editors didn't like
It's heavy
It's not cheap
Bog-standard 74GB hard drive. Fan makes an insufferable racket.
Costs the same as a holiday for four
Alienware didn’t have the urge to over-clock the Core i7 processor. If you feel the need for the extra speed
A heinously expensive (£4000) ALX version cranks out a few more cycles with the help of a liquid cooling system. Weirdly

Noisy
Disappointing internal structure and finish
Clunky Alienware case
Overclocking reserved for a still higher-end Alienware system
Attractive styling; huge range of options available when buying; fast performance
Loud cooling fans; pricey
This is a great-looking gaming PC with outstanding performance and good customisation options. Our only reservations include the fact that its a tad noisy, more than a bit pricey, and itll probably give you a hernia when getting it out of the box ...
Theres nothing much to dislike about the Alienware Area-51 7500 at first glance. It looks cool, is quiet, and offers performance that most users would be satisfied with. Wed immediately install a discrete soundcard, though. Its only when you start ...

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 redesigned Alienware Area-51 introduces a radical new gaming desktop design, all for the sake of improved cooling, expandability, and features that make it unique in the eyes of gamers....
Functional, eye-catching chassis, Excellent graphics and overall performance, Runs cool and quiet during gaming, Considerably cheaper than the competition

The Alienware Area-51 offers tons of gaming power in a badass design that will turn heads....
Great, Menacing Looks, Very Quiet, Strong Performance Overall, Excellent Thermal Performance, Relatively PowerEfficient For Its WeightClass
Pricey, Heavy Don't Cheat On Your PushUps, TriSLI Can Have Diminishing Returns
Love it or hate it, and again we happen to be in the former group, the Area-51's new Triad chassis design enables top-end performance with thermal and acoustic profiles that are best of class in high-end gaming systems. We'd go so far as to suggest that ...

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.
