AlienWare X51 System Review (Core i7)

Rating: 8.0.

Are you tired of the same, boring looking desktop system?

Alienware hope you are, because their X51 is designed from the ground up to turn heads. The system is built inside a diminutive, superslim chassis which can be used either vertically or horizontally.

Think Xbox 360.

The big question we need to answer today however, is it actually any good?

Unlike some of the more expensive Alienware systems, the The X51 won't break the bank. The basic configuration starts at £649 including VAT and shipping. The model we are reviewing today has received a couple of upgrades, featuring a Core i7 2600 @ £899 inc vat and delivery.

X51 review system:

Processor: Intel Core i7 2600
Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600mhz
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 555 (1GB GDDR5)
Storage: 1TB SATA 7,200rpm HDD
Optical: DVD+/-RW (Read/Write)
Audio: Onboard High Definition 7:1
Wireless: Integrated 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Wireless LAN

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.

    Thats really very sexy looking. I like it. Wonder if you can fit a better GPU in it. would the PSU handle it?

    Nice photos. I was going to say I wonder why they hadn’t moved to the new 3rd generation processors, but I notice they just did. good move 🙂

    Its a nice idea, but the power brick is massive. kinda ruins the point of having such a small case. no?
