Alienware Aurora ALX Blu-Ray Gamer

Dominate with Dual Graphics Options
Run this space-saving desktop with the latest dual graphics technologies, and your enemies won't know what hit them. ATITM CrossFireXTM and NVIDIA SLITM graphics options deliver high frame rates at HD resolutions, all while maxing out game settings. Add a second graphics card to experience a whole new level of spectacular performance and lifelike imagery.

ATI CrossFireX -
Dominate any game with the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform with Microsoft DirectX technology.

NVIDIA SLI -
Don’t dial back game settings; crank ’em up. With NVIDIA SLITM graphics and Microsoft DirectX technology, you can experience your digital media like never before.

Multi-GPU Support -
With NVIDIA SLI technology, you can increase your gaming performance by up to 100%, while enjoying vivid images and fast transitions. With optional dual graphics cards, you can power up to four independent digital displays. Stay deep within your game on a main monitor and still keep up with your other tasks.

Complete Immersion -
Build your system with some of the best gaming GPUs and still have room for the other essentials of an immersive experience, including crystal-clear sound and optimized networking.

Your Command Center
AlienwareTM Command Center provides intuitive, user-friendly access to exclusive applications, including AlienFXTM lighting effects, Alienware thermal controls and AlienFusion power management. Updates and new releases download directly into Command Center, creating an evolving tool for personalizing your system.

AlienFX Lighting —
Choose from an array of 20 colors — up to an amazing 160,000 accent lighting color combinations — to customize the effects across four distinct zones.

All-New, Aggressive Design
With the Alienware Aurora ALX, you'll be living and breathing in high performance. Alienware's most powerful MicroATX desktop will help you dominate at a LAN event. Use its all-new, motorized vents to manage your thermals and intimidate the competition. And you can personalize the Cosmic Black machine with lighting effects in eight different zones.

Active Venting —
This Alienware-exclusive feature helps your system stay cool in the heat of battle. Controlled through Alienware's Command Center, the five mechanical vents are triggered when the chassis reaches high thermal values.

Liquid Cooling —
Eliminate distractions with high-performance CPU liquid cooling, which is more than twice as quiet as the standard heatsink and fans on other PCs. The efficient cooling also increases the reliability of your overclocked settings.

Easy Upgrades -
Look inside the Alienware Aurora, and you'll see why it's easy to make this desktop your own. You can access many of the core components without any tools for fast upgrades and hassle-free service. (Or you can just show them off.)

Front Panel Access -
Simply press down on the first louver to connect USB and front audio cables, without needing to reach to the back of the chassis. The ports are articulated to reduce front-door snag when cables are connected, so you can avoid unwanted tangling and costly mishaps.

Rear Entry -
Use the chassis's last louver, towards the rear of the system, as the handle for opening the case for upgrades and service. The rear of the chassis also includes lighting for added convenience when adding or removing cables.

Power Supply Cage -
Now it’s easy to upgrade your power supply unit. After using the power supply release handle, you can access the PSU cage with a single-cable harness. And avoid the frustration of inbird's nestin cabling.
