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...

Alienware Area 51 7500 Desktop PC

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...

Alienware Area-51 7500 Review

Alienware Area-51 7500 Review. We put the new P2 chassis and Core 2 Duo Extreme Edition CPU to the test.

There's no denying that the Core 2 Duo Extreme Edition is the best desktop processor in the world at this point, and any system based upon such a powerful CPU is destined to rock the benchmarks. Alienware's Area-51 7500 inaugurates the arrival of the...
