Loaded with the absolute latest technology from top to bottom. Infinite connectivity options include six USB, two gigabit Ethernet, one eSATA, and one Firewire port ... and thats just in the back. Includes a free hat.
Incredibly heavy and imposingly large. Only one optical drive? At this price wed expect more than a oneyear warranty. 1200 watt power supply ensures the unit doubles as a space heater.
Cost-effective for a $6,500 PC; more storage than weve ever seen.
Clunky Alienware case; overclocking and other features reserved for a still higher-end Alienware system; no HDMI output.

If youve been hankering for an Alienware gaming PC but been deterred by your limited bank account, the Area-51 7500 has the deal and the performance youve been looking for—and it only requires a few tiny trade-offs. ...
Fastest gaming performance to-date; fair pricing compared with other high-end PC vendors; useful customizable case lighting.
No 64-bit Vista option limits performance and memory support; distinctive case design not for everyone.
Alienware delivers most of what we expect in a high-end gaming PC, but without 64-bit Vista support, the Area-51 ALXs overall performance is limited. Its the fastest thing going for PC gaming, but at this price we expect the complete package. Specifi...
