it looks quite interesting, just like the "trashcan" aka mac pro, wich was hated quite alot but performed ohh so sweet, but the performance is doubtfull since well, yeah, alienware/dell.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

5-6 years down the road I might pick one up off ebay because it looks kinda cool, but there's no way in hell I'd pay Alienware the full price of the computer just so I could use the case.

Looks like Dell is trying to out special snowflake Apple.

I wonder how the case actually is. But I liked the original Area 51 was way better.

Alienware Spawns A Newly Designed Area 51 Desktop, Haswell-E On Board

So as the Title says, Alienware (Dell) designed a new, rather good looking case for the new x99 motherboards and Haswell-E CPU's.
Personally I like it. It's a small form factor but it packs quite a punch. Enjoy! :)

Alienware-Area-51-side-view.jpg

Dell's enthusiast Alienware brand has always stood out for its unique, other-worldly looks, though if there's such a thing as taking things to the next level, this is it. However, there's more to this refresh than just shock value -- it's a futuristic aesthetic with a purposeful design behind it.

The "TRAILER" for it is kinda stupid though. Be warned!
 
What do you guys think?
 
EDIT: I know there was a topic about this posted but it was really shallow and didn't have this amount of detail. Hope this doesn't get deleted. :)

1) It's a repost

2) It's ugly as hell

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

It'll be overpriced and I already want it to burn in the deepest fathoms of hell.

What do they know of England, who only England know?

If there is something i would buy from them is the cases.That's all.If they will plan in selling them separately i would buy one for sure

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

Exactly, as you said, I would only buy cases from them.

For those of you screaming repost. READ THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST POST. My god...
