Personal Computers, PCs for short, are computers for personal usage. They always have the following components: - A processor (CPU), this is the heart of your computer, where the data processing is done. - Memory (RAM), this is very fast memory in which temporary data is stored before being processed by the processor. - Motherboard, this is the component that connects all the different parts of your computer. Often it has some integrated components like a sound card, enabling your computer to play sound, or a network card, to connect your computer to the network. - Video board, this is the part of your computer that is responsible for the graphics processing. Micro ATX motherboards often have an integrated video board. Those integrated video boards are generally not very well suited for playing games, but good enough for watching movies. - Hard disk, this is the permanent memory of your computer where your data is stored. - An optional DVD/CD player/recorder for reading/writing DVDs/CDs.

Boundaries Not Included.

Dual graphics-ready compact mid tower. Designed for virtual reality and engineered with liquid cooling and tool-less access.

VR-Ready for today and beyond.

Ready for VR, the new Aurora was engineered to exceed today’s virtual reality requirements from HTC and Oculus, and was designed to create the most efficient use of space. The top of the system provides a natural place to rest your VR headset when not in use, and with a conveniently placed handle located near the top, you can organize all your wires in one place, running them to the back of the system and out of the way. With 15 USB ports, this system is more than ready to handle everything needed to attach your VR headset. And with convenient tool-less access, it offers easy upgradeability for the next wave of VR.

Evolved, inside and out.

The Alienware Aurora features a meticulous, zero-fat design and is the first of its kind to offer tool-less upgrades to graphics cards, hard drives and memory.

Designed to keep cool.
Inspired by the thermal ergonomics of the Area-51, the Aurora provides optimal air intake on the front and right panels and an exhaust fan on top for maximum airflow and cooling of internal components.

Packed with power.
The Aurora is Alienware’s smallest mid tower gaming desktop ever to offer both dual-graphics and liquid cooling.

Engineered for the future.

Innovative, tool-less access.
A uniquely designed PSU swing-arm keeps graphics and expansion cards safely secured and easy to upgrade, no tools necessary. The tool-less accessibility also makes it easy to reach memory modules and up to 5 storage drives.

Iconic & quiet design.
Customizable AlienFX lighting gives the Aurora a distinct, dynamic look and its whisper-quiet operation allows you to get lost in the game without noisy distractions.

Uncompromising performance.

Engineered for overclocking: The Alienware Aurora was designed to support fully customizable upgrades – including speeds of up to 4.4.GHz on all four cores with the Intel® Core™ i7 7700K CPU – with up to 4-core Intel® 7th Gen processors and optional CPU liquid cooling and up to 64GB of DDR4 at 2400Mhz or up to 32GB of XMP DDR4 2667Mhz memory.

Stunning graphics capabilities: Tested and benchmarked at UHD 4K resolutions and beyond in games and synthetic benchmarks, the Aurora offers brilliant resolution and exceptional frame rates, featuring options like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 series graphics.

High-speed and hardcore: Maximize gaming performance and capacity with up to 5 solid-state drives using a mix of 1x PCIe SSD and 4x SSDs.

Killer™ Wireless: The Killer 1535 includes our ExtremeRange™ Technology with two external 5GHz signal amplifiers to improve your performance at longer distances. The External Power Amplifier and the Low Noise Amplifier work together to increase and maximize your WiFi range and to amplify your wireless signals so they cut through the noise to deliver your data as quickly as possible. The Killer E2500’s Lag and Latency Reduction Technology accelerates your highest priority network traffic, such as your game, and makes sure that it never has to wait behind less important traffic.

Get deeper than ever before.

Reengineered to support up to dual 300W graphics cards (600W total graphics power), the Alienware Aurora now features more dedicated graphics power than any previous model.

Ready to enable jaw-dropping 12Ki gameplay with support from NVIDIA Surround Technology, the Aurora offers an intensely immersive experience that plunges you directly into the heart of the game. It’s not what serious gamers want in a midtower desktop – it’s what they demand.

Experience the full spectrum.

AlienFX uses 20 different colors to create 8,000 unique themes to give your machine a more personalized look. Supported on over 130 titles, lighting zones can be customized to react to things like in game actions, powering on and off, and notifications by pulsing, morphing or simply holding a solid color. Once you’ve finished your theme, you can save and upload it to the Alienware Arena community site where you can share your custom creation with others and download any you find. And for times when you want a little less visual stimulation, AlienFX allows you to “go dark” by disabling all lighting effects until you’re ready to turn them back on.

When it comes to desktops, Alienware prides itself on delivering over the top, supremely expensive mega-towers for the rich and powerful. The Aurora changes all that. The starting price for this range is a mere $1599… but of course Alienware sent us the t...

Alienware machines are getting more and more Dell-like. Where once an Alienware desktop rig meant an expensive, vaguely Giger-esque design, with sweeping curves and vented cheeks, since Dell took over they've slowly started looking more and more like the...
Bottom line Honestly, I was a little prejudiced. I foolishly assumed the Alienware Aurora would be rather overpriced for the components inside it, but I have to admit to being mighty impressed with the quality of the components they've jammed inside the relatively sm...

Bottom line Like the Alienware Aurora R5, the Aurora R6 is an excellent gaming desktop for people who don't want to spend obscene amounts of money on a completely over-the-top rig. That's not to say it's cheap – it isn't – but it does manage to hit the sweet spot in...
