Reviews of the Alienware Area-51 X58
-
CNET Review
The Good: Cost-effective for a $6,500 PC; more storage than we've ever seen.
The Bad: Clunky Alienware case; overclocking and other features reserved for a still higher-end Alienware system; no HDMI output.
The Bottom Line: Even if we have a few reservations about this system, we can't deny that Alienware has an outstanding deal on its hands, with the Area 51 X58. It offers the same core hardware and twice the storage capacity as PCs that cost $1,500 more. High-end bargain hunters, assuming they exist, will find an amazing deal in this PC.
