Long-time gaming PC heavy weight Alienware is giving Apple’s Mac Pro a run for its money in terms of hardware design.
Sporting the so-called Triad-chassis the 2014 version of the Alienware Area 51 promises optimized thermal management and ergonomics. The new desktop PC also comes with grips that make it easy for users to pivot the entire system in case you want to perform any upgrades or connect any peripherals.
The triangular design also keeps the machine properly ventilated allowing cool air to enter the device while expelling hot air at the same time.
Under the hood, the Area-51 can be equipped with either a 6-core or 8-core Intel Core i7 processor that can be factory overclocked with an X99 Express chipset. There’s also 32GB of DDR4 memory (in quad-channel). Users can also take advantage of having both a solid state drive and a spinning hard drive.
Lastly, Alienware’s Command Center 4.0 allows users to fine tune their systems through a suite of overclocking controls, a monitoring app called Adrenaline that gives users detailed information about the various components of the PC (including CPU, memory, graphics card and network adapter) and AlienFX that controls the device’s lighting zones.
Alienware hasn’t revealed any pricing or shipping information yet but it’s undeniable that the Area-51 brings something different into the table making it quite a desirable piece of gaming equipment.
