Alienware to unveil "victorious" rig next week

January 11th, 2012

Because I work here, you'd think I'd get a sneak peak at the new Alienware system. But I don't. I'm just like the rest of you: I put my pants on one leg at a time and I have to wait until Wednesday, Jan 18 to find out what it is.

As Alienware Arena readers discovered two weeks ago, the new machine is all but confirmed to be a desktop unit. It's also "Built with triumph in mind," according to the 15 second teaser video.

Arena reader TheRealKnob even makes an educated guess: "It'll be the new Area 51 because (the video) faintly shows it for about a second around 10 seconds in. I WANT ONE!!!!!!!"

To tide you over until next Wednesday, there's also a Facebook page that features a svelte outline of the machine in question. In the meantime, watch this space.

So what do you think it'll be? What are you hoping for?

We now return to our regularly scheduled game coverage...

I can't wait to see this when it's released!

I'm hoping for the next step in Alienware computers. An even more powerful and futuristic machine than we've ever seen released from Alienware.

Enjoying my new life in California :)

I just want to see what it is! Probably won't buy one; can't afford it anyway :-P but I still want to see the specs and design!

AFAIAC that's a shell that the real case is hatching from. It's a neat idea. I want to see what innovations they're bringing to the table.

Anything worth having is worth working hard for.

The X51 looks like a lower end system for the average gamer... there is a picture on my facebook page... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000291563349

Hope it just rips the heart out of my chest just by looking at it, forcing me to press the buy button.

Really looking forward to see what they come up with. Was starting to think when Alienware would come out with a new design.

It will be a new A-51 because they stopped selling the old model a few months ago.
