| Area-51 ALX | |
In spite of its setbacks which we will reveal later, it also has its laudable features. It is in fact, the *World's First Physics Processing Unit*. The Area-51 ALX integrates a third element into its gameplay which is the innovative AGEIA PhysX™. This innovation is a first as it adds more dynamic interaction between the gamer and the game. It works by accelerating its quality of real-time physics resulting to visual effects are portrayed more realistically. All of these enhance gameplay. Apart from that, it also has its *Silent Liquid Cooling Technology* which is able to support performance-enhanced hardware and even the NVIDIA SLI in a single system. More than the standard air-cooled designs, the Area-51 ALX uses specially formulated liquid in coolers to protect the internal hardware by absorbing heat. Alienware’s Silent Liquid Cooling technology added for more safety and reliability a dual-pump design for enhanced long-term reliability. It also has a built-in, three-speed and quiet fan control and a CPU retention clip which puts even pressure on the CPU for protection. The system also reduces entrance of dust on internal components which gives off a cleaner overall system. Most of all, the Alienware’s Silent Liquid Cooling technology has a power control board which constantly monitors liquid temperature. This monitor works automatically with its emergency alarm and automatic shut down features
The basic specifications of Alienware Area-51 ALX SLI are the following: Price: $6,079.00 However, despite the beauty we see on this machine, on paper or for real, it ain’t good enough until its tested. We found out that unfortunately, this PC has been quite a surprise because in spite of all the hype, some things just work together. Although its kinda hard to explain why the Area-51 ALX's 3D is a disappointment, the fact is that it is. Area-51 ALX’s overall performance is amazingly slow although on paper it might appear to be the fastest computer ever created by human hands. Despite of the fact, we console ourselves that maybe this new technology is a little too new for usage. Perhaps, this PC is simply overflowing with so much new technology that it chokes its own system with a bottleneck of modern hi-tech equipment. In this, the entire system backfired and has its loud adverse effects. But then again, that’s just how I see it and maybe there’s a more coherent explanation. As a consolation though, the Area-51 ALX still delivers top-notch 3D performance and when it comes to the gaming word, it is the champ. The Area-51 ALX will let you play virtually any game even with very high details and a smooth frame rate. However, do think a lot before purchasing this gadget. Especially since for a PC that you’ll be buying for $2,000 more than something of its kind, it may be a little too stupid. |

Area-51 ALX
If you want to waste around $6,000 for a PC, get this attractive Area-51 ALX. By that time, you’ll be paying more for its looks for there’s nothing else behind it./pictures/alienware-area-51-alx_back.jpg)
Area-51 ALX systems’ other revolutionary features include its Dual-GPU Technology which maximize graphics and system performance. Alienware’s approach is the combining of dual graphics cards in a single system for performance increases. It also has a Scalable Link Interface which uses dual graphics cards that all work together for a single image and provides a 100% increase in graphics performance. In addition, Area-51 ALX also has a its Ultra-Threaded Processing Power which provides faster response when running multiple applications simultaneously. This Hyper-Threading technology delivers ultra-threaded system performance that is the best in the field so far./pictures/hdr_shot_alx51_edited.jpg)
