From Dell<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Competitive gamers asked for the ultimate gaming pc and Dell\u2019s new Alienware Aurora gaming desktop computer, unveiled today, delivers. It is the company\u2019s most advanced desktop ever delivering the extreme gaming performance and experience game developers intended for their players. With the latest technology and intelligent design, gamers can envelop themselves in the action, experience blazing fast performance and immersive
\ngraphics.<\/p>\n

*The Aurora desktop delivers the pure, raw power that gamers crave. The systems come loaded with the new 2nd generation Intel(r) Core(tm) i7-3000 series six-core CPUs, factory overclocked1 and liquid cooled, with the Intel X79 Express Chipset (Dell\u2019s first consumer system to offer this chipset), Quad Channel DDR32 memory and the latest SATA technology.<\/p>\n

*Gamers can literally \u201csee\u201d all that power firsthand. Dual graphics cards and beyond 1080p gaming with immersive multi-display and 3D HD3 capabilities allow gamers to experience any game at its best – as intended by the game developers.<\/p>\n

*And the gaming desktops are intelligently designed for unparalleled customization. In addition to raw power, an innovative chassis design and intuitive internal component layout allows for user-friendly upgrades and optimized thermal
\nmanagement.<\/p>\n

Purposeful Cool Design<\/strong>
\nDesigned from the inside out with performance, function and style in mind, Alienware Aurora\u2019s chassis delivers a purposeful internal layout in a sleek, beautiful and compact form factor.<\/p>\n

The desktop\u2019s maintenance-free, high performance CPU Liquid Cooling replaces the standard heat sink and fan that comes with most PCs, and its Active Venting system provides additional heat dissipation during heavy gaming. This unique design increases component longevity and allows Aurora to stay nearly twice as quiet as competitors with traditional heat sink and fan layouts. Additionally, all core components inside the Aurora are purposefully compartmentalized in chambers that provide clean, clear and easy tool-less access for upgrades, maintenance or showing off.<\/p>\n

Supporting AMD<\/strong>
\nCrossFireX technology, Alienware Aurora is capable of housing two graphics cards for maximum performance and extreme graphics power. All Aurora graphics cards use GDDR5 graphics memory2, the most advanced offering available. With Microsoft\u2019s DirectX 11 graphics API, complex virtual worlds will come alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PC gaming industry continues to grow rapidly, and our customers are demanding systems that can keep up with the most graphic-intensive games on the market,\u201d said Arthur Lewis, vice president, Alienware and Product Management for Consumer, Small and Medium Business. \u201cAlienware Aurora, our most advanced gaming desktop ever, delivers an experience that will exceed the expectations of any serious gamer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Complete Control<\/strong>
\nAll Alienware laptops and desktops come complete with the Alienware Command Center, which provides intuitive, user?friendly access to exclusive applications and controls, including AlienFX lighting effects, Thermal Controls and AlienFusion power management system. AlienFX allows users to customize the exterior lighting zones on the chassis with over 25 billion color combinations for a one-of-a-kind personalized experience. Updates and new releases download directly into Command Center, creating a constantly evolving tool for users to modify and personalize their gaming computer.<\/p>\n

Gaming Supremacy<\/strong>
\nAlienware is recognized throughout the industry and with customers alike for performance, functionality and design. The Alienware M17x gaming laptop with Intel Sandy Bridge processors recently won Gold in the Gaming category for \u201cThe Best Products of 2011\u201d from PC Magazine , and the Alienware M11x R3 laptop won Silver. As new technology is released, look for Alienware to continually offer the latest in PC gaming hardware, partnering with other industry leaders to deliver an optimized gaming experience. <\/p>\n
