Alienware have carved out a name for themselves over the last twenty years when it comes to gaming computers. The 2014 Alienware Area 51 gaming system has lived up to this name. Dell has said that the flagship gaming system offers performance that is state of the art, along with scalability, while at the same time being easy to use.

The desktop gaming system offers a stunning new chassis and has been built around the Extreme Edition Core i7 processor of Intel. No surprises that it will support 4K gaming via three full-sized video cards.

Dell has called the design of the chassis, the Triad. Along with having stunning extra terrestrial-eqsue looks, it was developed to be efficient for thermal management. The design of it makes it easy to get to the interior for any system upgrades. Internal fans have been fitted at the bottom front so as to pull cool ambient air in and the warm air gets expelled out of the back at the top diagonally. Even if the computer was to be pushed up back against a wall there would still be enough venting to ensure efficient heat dissipation.

From the seated position the port panel on the front can be seen easily and the back panel has been angled away from the wall, to allow people to get a look when cable stabbing.

The Area 51 is going to be made available with choices of 6 or 8 cores and these are the Intel Haswell-E core i7 processors, which come on the Intel x99 Express chipset. The configurations will be shipped from the factory overclocked with support for up to as much as 32GB of 2,133 MHz DDR4 RAM along with solid state storage and HDD hybrid options, which will support up to five drives.
