Alienware Aurora PC Review - The best PC Spec and build on the planet !

Alienware Aurora - The best PC Spec and build on the planet !

Having spent much time researching on the best build, spec, reliability and looks. We finally settled on the Alienware Aurora range of PC's and having now received and used the PC for over three weeks, we are NOT disappointed

Alienware allows potential buyers to tailor the specifications to their exact requirements and build and test to a high specification. It seems they go the extra mile in ensuring quality of build !

Alienware's case designers seemed to hit the right note of sophisticated gaming coolness. Unlike many gaming PCs that look like they were designed for an amusement park, the Aurora has a shinny, curved black case (other colors are available) with dual silver ventilation grilles that wrap around the sides--a sort of neo-art deco, Flash Gordon feel we found quite attractive. The machine features plenty of open bays and slots for expansion, including three externally accessible and four internal bays, along with two open RAM slots and four open 32-bit slots. Alienware rounds out this gem with well-organized documentation covering the system's every component.

This Aurora is what Alienware does best. It's powerful, well-designed, and has a sophisticated cool that will appeal to more than the under-20 gaming set.

Our advice though is buy one and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed !!! Upto £200 rebate.
