Alienware (prior to dell) was actually a decent pc builder, they didn't use proprietary parts and most of the time it was top shelf boards and cards from ABIT and ASUS. They were still extremely expensive back then, but could compete with top shelf home builds.

That PC was an absolute monster in it's hayday. At that time, Dell had not acquired them yet but it was it had been discussed and nearing a deal. First off, the case was actually made by Antec. It came it various colors and even had the flip flop chameleon finishes. That specific computer, if I'm not mistaken, had an Nvidia 7400 GT or a 7800 GTX, which getting it in an SLI setup was an option. During that time,hardcore gaming was really beginning to gain popularity and take off. To be honest, you both should have given it a little more respect. But it shows your age and knowledge. Maybe research a little more. That, hands down, was probably one of the best computers ever made. I owned a computer company in Texas called Giga-Ware. Not to be confused with the Radio Shack brand. They actually stole my name. Anyhoos, I built many custom PCs and this was by far, a major competitive system and for what you got, was a very good buy. Thanks Dell for trashing that company's reputation.
@falkwulf3842 Ай бұрын
Chieftec actually Alienware kept using Chieftec dragon based cases until Dell bought them out, but I digress. You are correct this Predator 2 was a MONSTER back in its day, I also agree that these generation of Alienware rigs were some of the best rigs money could buy. Oddly enough I worked for Radio Shack when I bought my Alienware pc back in 2004. (Sorry Radio Shack ripped your name off, but it was kind of the company's M.O. {I would learn this the hard way years later when the company went belly up and screwed the employees}) At the time I was in college in Florida and Alienware was based out of Miami so they had it shipped to me and on my doorstep in less than 48 hours for no extra charge. I still use the Area 51 Predator 1 case to this day as my daily gaming rig. I have had to mod the case to accommodate newer parts but being the avid PC nerd that I am I keep my rig with very high end components.

remember on these old cpus sometimes higher settings are most stable, since the processor is fluctuating framerates, where it can't keep up, then "catches up", then falls behind, then "catches up", repeat infinitely. when you raise the settings for the gpu, higher settings, and higher resolution, you're offputting more work for the gpu, essentially slowing it down, so you might only get 35 frame a second instead of 60. but it'll be a more stable 30 fps, because since the gpu is working harder, the processor isn't "falling behind"
@ZaneofAustin Жыл бұрын
for instance in tf2 if you raised the settings since the gpu was only at 55% and cpu @100% then you probably would have had a better experience (by yourself on a server of course) with higher settings, with a slightly overall lower framerate

Can you ask Micro center when they are going to up a store in Arizona? We really need one out here.

That really is a great case. It would be cool to put a modern gaming system in it.

Cases that didn't require tools have been around for quite some time. Apple was building machines you could assemble, disassemble, and maintain w/out tools back in 1989 (Mac IIcx). Off and on through the 1990's, some Macs didn't need tools and some did. The earliest PC's I know of that were tool-less where business PCs like the Dell Optiplexes from the early 2000's. That case is so begging for a board swap!

On tool less cases I have a old dell optiolex xe2 and that has a handle on the side and you can just take it off

I am abit of a Alienware head, so this model Alienware Area 51 was the last alienware model that was build using off the shelve parts, before joining Dell's OEM platform. At the end of 2008 Alienware would release the last Alienware Area 51 using that chassie. The Area 51 x58 would share the same Dell OEM P270J motherboard as the Dell XPS 730X displaying their full adoption into the Dell ecosystem of parts. The very next year Dell would change the XPS as being branded as their gaming line-up, and would have the XPS line now represent their media/professional line up of computers. Alienware would now have two Desktop line ups. The Dell Alienware Aurora you reviewed and the MASSIVE Alienware Area 51.

Good find. I almost got a case like this, but it never got delivered because the post office lost it.

I had the same case but my Alienware was an earlier model. Mine had a Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz with Hyper Threading. I believe it had 512 mb of Rambus ram. I forget the Nvidia card it had. I used it to play wow back then. It worked very well.

550 Ti was a card from like 2011 I think cause I had one in my HP prebuilt. So must have been upgraded at some point.

7:58 do you have a dryer hooked up on the compressor to dry out the air or just use the air from the compressor as is?

I'd love to actually do a build I'm that case. Do some modifications and bring it up to date and run it as my daily. The components would go towards a file server. 😁
