Greetings Earthlings,

When you think about the market for a pre-built, proverbial "Killer Gaming

Rig," you have to consider the class of consumer that would have interest

in this type of system. For the most part, the average do-it-yourselfer

isn't going to take much interest here, save for perhaps the appreciation

of such a system. That said, there is obviously a significant market

opportunity for consumers that want top-of-the line components and build

quality for enthusiast-class gaming performance and head-turning

aesthetics, without the hassle of going at it the home-grown way. Dell

obviously saw this market opportunity when they snatched up the then not-so

boutique system builder Alienware, back in March of 2006.

Dell recently afforded their Alienware division the inside track on Intel's

benchmark crushing Core i7-980X Gulftown 6-core processor and the resources

to get it validated for delivery to market quickly. We've had the new Dell

Alienware Area-51 in for testing for a week now and have spent some quality

time with the machine, helping it break its first sweat, globally we might

add...
