Alienware show off Area-51 X58, its latest high-end gaming desktop PC powered by the powerful Intel Core i7 Extreme processor, during CeBIT 2009 event. Its body has exclusive Alienware chassis design, along with AlienFX system illumination. Running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition operating system, the computer features up to 12GB of 1066Mhz DDR3 main memory, up to 4TB of hard disk storage, a 4x dual-layer Blu-ray burner, dual / quad GPU solution from nVidia, and Intel Core i7 Extreme processor family (920/940/965).

Alienware, my favourite computer manufacturer, presents the latest Area 51 series laptop, the Area 51 m17x. Available immediately, this 17-inch widescreen notebook PC is powered by an Intel Core 2 Extreme procesosr, up to 4GB of DDR2 main memory, up to 1.5TB of hard drive in RAID 0, an nVidia 8800M GTX SLI graphics engine, and a UXGA (1200p) display.

Talking about Alienware, finally there’s a local store in my city who is able to deliver ANY Alienware’s products. I’m not sure about the price yet since I have’t had time to visit their place, but I bet it’d be a little big higher than the original price.

Alienware launches two new gaming desktop PC, the “Area-51 ALX” and “Aurora ALX”, both with optional 64GB Solid State Drive (SSD). SSD technology allows faster and better system perfomance, compared to standard hard drive. However, since this technology is practically new, it won’t come cheap. To be exact, you have to pay an additional $1,700 for SSD.

Area-51 ALX features an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor, dual 768MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX graphics engine in SLI mode (or GeForce 8800 Ultra if you want), up to 4TB (4 x 1TB) of SATA HDD, a dual-layer DVD burner (or opt-in for Blu-Ray burner), 8 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x FireWire ports, and HD Surround sound audio engine. Measures 19.01 x 9.97 x 25.02-inch, the desktop PC is priced at $4,999 (base configuration).

As for Alienware’s Aurora ALX desktop PC, it has almost similar specs as Area-51 ALX, except that it uses AMD’s Athlon 64 X2 dual-core CPU. The machine costs $4,099 each.

Both Area-51 ALX and Aurora ALX desktop pcs comes with either Microsoft Windows XP Professional / MCE 2005 or Vista Home Premium / Ultimate operating system.
