Alienware Area-51 7500 featuring Quad-Core and 8800 SLI

Alienware's mothership PC lands in our labs featuring the latest technology from Intel and nVidia.

As beautifully packaged and presented a PC as you would expect from Alienware but busting with bleeding edge kit. The quad-core CPU is a little ahead of its time, and a higher clocked dual-core processor will be faster right now, but the four cores...

Alienware Alienware Area-51 7500

The impressive Alienware Area-51 7500 delivers strong performance and excellent features. At $6007 (as of July 11, 2007), it's the most expensive quad-core model we've tested thus far. You get a lot for your money, though. Our review system carried 2GB...

Equipped with Intel's Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor and an EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card, the impressive Alienware Area-51 7500 delivers strong performance and excellent features. But at $4954 (as of December 6, 2006), it's the most expensive...

Alienware Area-51 7500

Alienware's latest iteration of its popular Area-51 gaming PC, the Area-51 7500 ($5,589 direct), gets a performance boost courtesy of an overclocked quad-core processor. Though its nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics subsystem is no slouch, it can't...

Intel quad-core processor overclocked to 3.46 GHz. Fast, 10,000-rpm drives. Liquid-cooled CPU

Noisy. Expensive, considering monitor and speakers are not included. Performance with a single graphics card isn't quite as good as quad-core systems with a dual-graphics card setup

Powered by an overclocked Intel quad-core Core 2 Extreme processor and an nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card, the Alienware Area-51 7500 is one fast, albeit noisy, desktop PC with a customizable lighting system and a hefty price tag.

Alienware Area-51 7500 Gaming System

As most of you probably know, Dell acquired Alienware about a year ago in order to leverage Alienware's edgy brand. Some may fear that this means the worst for Alienware, but for now, Alienware still operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell and...

Unique design/theme ; Cool custom lighting - AlienFX ; Good support ; High quality ; Tons of pixel-pushing power for gaming ; Not too loud

Pricey ; Custom lighting not fully functional after two shipments ; Heavy

Performance Summary: 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...
