VR READY WITH A VIVE-OPTIMIZED PC.

With a VR-ready Alienware PC, you can be the first to experience the future of gaming. Partnering with HTC, Alienware provides a range of systems to bring you most immersive VR experience imaginable. The Alienware Vive-Optimized desktops are unmatched in performance, featuring Intel® processors, and NVIDIA or AMD graphics options.

A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE TAKES SHAPE.

You demand the best systems on Earth. Since our inception, Alienware has strived to deliver incredible gaming performance without sacrifice.

You've never seen anything like the Alienware Area-51. It’s more than an iconic design. It's a perfect convergence of power and beautiful design. We reimagined this system from the inside out, and built it without compromises. It’s an engineering marvel and a completely new experience that performs true to our legacy of excellence.

TRIAD CHASSIS. INTELLIGENT DESIGN.

GET INSIDE.

The Area-51's three corners are built to support 5 times the system's weight. Pivot the system towards you and gain easy access to the rear ports when connecting or disconnecting cables. There is even a button on the back of the chassis that turns on the rear accessibility lighting to reduce the need of having to use a flashlight.

CARRY ON.

Transport your ultimate gaming rig anywhere. The rugged handles make the Area-51 more natural to carry. The shape and internal component layout are designed to have a low center of gravity to avoid the system from tipping when being lifted.

EASY ACCESS.

The angular shape is designed to have all the I/O ports facing you directly, making connecting a USB device, headphones, or even a media card reader easier than on a traditional rectangular chassis design.

DESIGNED TO KEEP COOL.

Internal fans blow fresh ambient air, quietly and directly, onto the graphics cards and the internal cable management enables maximum airflow – satisfying your system's hunger for cooler air and keeping it performing at its peak. The angled design also provides a large space for hot air to escape where a traditional, rectangular chassis only leaves a small space between it and the wall.

BEHOLD THE JAW-DROPPING POWER OF 12K.

Behold the jaw-dropping power of 12K.
The Area-51 is not only perfect for serious gamers, it’s also the platform of choice for developers and programmers who demand concurring gaming workloads at the highest 4K resolution. It’s not just the highest-performance gaming experience – it’s a breathtaking display you can lose yourself in.

Maximum multitasking. 
Designed to support up to three full-length double-wide graphics cards and the new Intel® Core™ i7 X-Series processors with up to 10 cores, managing multiple tasks at once has never been easier. Flawless concurrent execution of data-intensive workloads lets you spend more time creating and less time waiting. You can also play your favorite games in 4k while broadcasting live HD streams around the world on Twitch.

PROCESSING POWERHOUSE.

Liquid-cooled & overclocked: The Alienware Area-51 ushers in a new era of performance with Windows 10 Home and up to 10-core Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme processor options that come factory overclocked and made possible with the new Intel® X99 Express chipset and 2133Mhz DDR4 memory — up to 64GB in quad channel. Do insane, intensive multitasking like rendering video or extreme performance 4K gaming at your leisure.

Get deeper: Unprecedented power make the Area-51 the ideal platform for today’s most graphic intensive, hyper-immersive gaming experiences, including premium VR.

Unrivaled PC gaming: Take your gaming performance to the next level with overclockable CPU cores and Turbo Max 3.0 for amazing, single-threaded gameplay.

A full studio in your PC: Whether you’re creating new music, developing games or designing models for a 3D printer, the Area-51 lets you easily edit and render high resolution 4k and VR video and effects.

RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME – INSIDE AND OUT.

INCREDIBLE POWER.

Optional 1.5KW power supply (available soon) and modular cabling will ensure revved-up performance that is both highly efficient and reliably impressive.

BIG STORAGE. PURE SPEED.

The storage bays support up to five drives of either SSD or HDD. Enjoy the pure speed of solid state and the big storage of hard drives – allowing for quick boot and massive archiving capabilities.

CONNECT WITH CONFIDENCE.

The Ethernet assembly has been built by Killer™ Technology. It prioritizes streaming video and gaming packets for the smoothest possible performance when you need it most. Plus, it comes fully equipped with 802.11ac – the latest wireless protocol.
