The Alienware Area-51 has a noticeably clean and spacious interior, with a new Alienware-branded motherboard designed specifically for this desktop PC. The included Alienware motherboard supports a dual-channel RAM configuration, with up to 64GB (in a 2 x 32 GB configuration) of DDR5 XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) memory at a fast data transfer speed of 6400 MT/s. (Third-party motherboards can be installed with the purchase of an AlienFX board conversion kit.) At 80L, this is a full-size PC tower, which allows for compatibility with even the largest components and better thermals.

Unbox the $4,100 gaming desktop with us along with Alienware’s new $800 34″ QD-OLED Monitor. #gaming #alienware #gamingdesktop #desktopmonitor #unboxing #tech #pc

      That game failed to be legendary, or even a classic, or cult classic.
