Alienware, Dell’s high-end gaming computers brand, presents its new desktop unit optimized for high-performance and gaming, called Alienware Aurora Desktop.
Gamers can get it at a price of $1,699 from BestBuy and receive outstanding graphics and the best home entertainment experience.

The key elements of the new system include an AMD Phenom X4 9550 quad-core processor, dual ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphic processing units with 2GB GDDR3 dedicated memory, 500GB storage capacity at 7200 rpm, and 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 memory to support multi-tasking of high-demanding applications.

Aurora can store up to 75 games, 90 movies or 112,500 songs, but you have the possibility to go up to 3TB of space. You have an optional 64GB Solid State Drive as well as RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations.
The AMD processor model is the quad core Phenom 9850 Black Edition clocked at 2.5GHz, with HyperTransport technology for preventing I/O bottlenecks, amplify system bandwidth and reducing latency.
The built-in Cool’n’Quiet technology allows the computer to run silently with reduced power consumption.

In addition, the processor enables real-time encryption, 3D imaging, and High Definition content.
An aspect that probably won’t like is that Aurora from Alienware runs on the Windows Vista operating system for an enhanced computer experience thanks to the multitude of accessibility features.
You can match the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card capabilities such as the 7.1 surround, with a Blu-ray Disc drive for full High Definition content on both audio and video fields. There is also the LightScribe technology coming with the 20x dual layer DVD burner to let you custom your DVD labels as you prefer.

Other essential components from the powerful configuration are the Killer K1 network card and the Ageia PhysX support, which bring high-speed network connectivity and higher level of dynamism and interactivity for gaming.

Inside, the system features the Alienware High-Performance Liquid Cooling to draw away the heat fast and reduce noise, a smart design that allows you to remove and install elements with your own hands, bundled and tied back wires for a clean space, magnesium allow P2 frame to maintain the optimal temperature, the Alienware AlienFX lighting system for cool light transitions, and a wireless fan sensor.
The entire system measures 19.1 x 9.97 x 25.02 inches.




“People are defining themselves by the products they choose and groups they associate with, “says Michael Tatelman, vice president, global consumer sales and marketing, Dell. “Individuals who choose the Alienware Aurora are saying I am a serious gamer and user who demands the best in personal computing.”
