Alienware Area-51 QX9770 CrossFireX System Review

**MIG-31** · Oct 25, 2008, 08:30 AM

Alienware has been one of the strongest players in the market of performance PCs since the company was founded in 1996. Purchased by Dell in early 2006 and since then has continued on this same path building leading edge computers for enthusiasts around the globe. At one point I thought the buyout by Dell as a death sentence for Alienware and it would have been engulfed by the also successful Dell XPS brand; obviously that hasn't yet happened and the Alienware brand and style continues to be strong.

Good Review, but forgive...these machines are IMO ugly. If they made anything else I guess they wouldnt have the same appeal, I mean why do people still buy high end machines anyway? Sounds crazy I know, but I prefer a much smaller box, or slicker, etc.
I am sure my remarks will no doubt go against the grain, but I could have bought one long ago, but I just cant get over the appearance..
