Alienware Aurora ALX gaming PC

A hardcore gaming PC with deadly looks and fast performance

Excellent performance, tool-less drive bays, customisable lights, neat internal construction

Alienware Aurora ALX (Core i7)

The Alienware Aurora ALX (Core i7)'s new Aurora ALX has a brand new core i7-CPU and two high-end graphics cards encased in one of the coolest chassis I've seen in a long time.

Case Design. Very quiet. Core i7 CPU.

Expensive. No multimedia card reader. No expandability.

Alienware Aurora ALX - Athlon 64 FX 60 2.6 GHz review: Alienware Aurora ALX - Athlon 64 FX 60 2.6 GHz

Typically well-built Alienware gaming PC; most powerful desktop 3D graphics technology currently available.

Quad SLI doesn't offer enough bang for the buck.

Alienware's Quad SLI PC features four distinct 3D graphics processors, placing it among the most advanced consumer PCs around. But we're not convinced that this expensive Nvidia technology delivers enough 3D muscle for the money. Furthermore, we'd...

Case Design. Very quiet. Core i7 CPU

Expensive. No multimedia card reader. No expandability

The latest iteration of Alienware's ALX line, the Alienware Aurora ALX (Core i7), is as flashy as its predecessor and just as powerful, but it will cost you an arm and a leg.

Dell Alienware Aurora ALX

Latest in Dell's Alienware gaming PCs, the Alienware Aurora ALX turns up the style and performance. But is it worth the money?

Amazing looks ; Very well built ; High-end performance ; Two GeForce GTX 260s in SLI

No SSD ; Expensive

The Dell Alienware Aurora ALX is a high-end gaming machine. It combines unique looks with amazingly fast performance at a hefty price tag. If price isn't a consideration, we highly recommend this one-of-a-kind gaming machine.
