While the Alienware Area-51 7500 performs well, we were left wanting a little more from the system. In our testing, the Area-51 7500 came up a bit short of our expectations, as many of our comparison systems, despite being configured with similar hard...
Alienware has a very solid product here with their latest Area 51 desktop gaming system. The one we received has all the top-end parts and it sure is a screamer! With an a quad core CPU, two GeForce 8800 GTXs for SLI, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and Western Dig...
As always, Alienware has sent in a system that wed be delighted to pretend the couriers lost in the return post. Its got an X6800, dual GeForce 8800 GTXs and a Blu-ray drive. The new P2 chassis is pretty nice, even though its smaller than the previ...
Fast, single 3D card configuration that will power you through any game on the market; case lighting customization software finally done and works as intended.
About $2,000 more than PCs with similar hardware, but with few benefits in performance or features; 700-watt power supply not enough for SLI with the GeForce 8800 GTX 3D card it ships with.
Wed like this latest quad core-equipped Area-51 7500 if it were about $1,000 cheaper. Its as fast as it should be, but other vendors have similarly configured PCs that can do just as much for significantly less. Alienwares trademark care in assembly...
Abstract: Perhaps no other independent PC builder in recent history has done more to bring the ultimate experience to end-users than Alienware. The company with a silly name that was started over a decade ago on a shoestring budget of $15.00 dollars by a couple ...
Impress performance
Very feature-rich
Excellent cooling system
Case can be gaudy looking to some
Fairly loud, could be quieter
Simply put, the Alienware Area-51 7500 is an excellent all around PC worthy of serious attention. While a similarly spec’ed self built rig will run approximately $400 cheaper, it’s impossible to ignore the craftsmanship of the internal wiring...
Abstract: As Wil described in his piece yesterday, the PC has come a long way from the bland, corporate box that it used to be in the early nineties. Nowaday, even cheap, cheerful machines are attractively coloured and housed in interesting boxes. If you go high-en...
Strong balance of price and performance; new case is both functional and good looking.
Software for customized lighting is still a work in progress.
We raved about Alienwares new case when we first saw it earlier this year, and we still like it here on the Area-51 5500, even if its innovative lighting system is only half-baked. What we like even more is the power this gaming PC serves up for the p...
Abstract: Intel officially began shipping the hot new Core 2 Duo CPU line on July 27th and just about every PC manufacturer announced new models based upon the new chips the very same day. The Core 2 Duo line improves upon Intels previous chip architectures in ...
Intel Core 2 Extreme is the fastest chip out there; new chassis is shorter than past alien-head cases; innovative and customizable lighting; untethered side panel.
New case is still huge.
Its not the fastest PC (its second), nor is it the most competitively priced, but Alienwares Area-51 7500 does have the most innovative case. With a wholly customizable lighting scheme in its new chassis, Alienware makes case lights functional, a tr...
