From the manufacturer

A legacy of excellence takes shape
You demand the best systems on Earth. Ever since our inception, Alienware has strived to deliver incredible gaming performance without sacrifice.

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

Get Inside
The Area-51's 3 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
Unstoppable graphics capabilities can enable a mind-melting 11520x2160 resolution across triple Ultra HD 4K monitors (sold separately). The new Area-51 is designed to support up to three full-length, double-wide graphics cards. It’s not just the highest-performance gaming experience – it’s a breathtaking display you can lose yourself in.

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.

Processing Powerhouse
New. Liquid-cooled. Overclocked: The Alienware Area-51 ushers in a new era of performance with Windows 10 and Intel Core i7 Extreme processor that comes factory overclocked and made possible with the new Intel Express chipset and 2133Mhz DDR4 memory.
