The 2004 design was the best in my opinion, I wish they'd re-introduce that style into the line up. That new Aurora looks very nice as well, much nicer than the one it's replacing. I never was a fan of the current Aurora design.
That ALX is still one of the best Alienware design of all time !! Before I could build any PC, I tried bought that one in 2005, a years after its released and I still keep it in my room with the hardware had been upgrade for a years and cooling system had been modified !
They also forgot the 2009 Area 51 ALX R1 which the cases has hidraulic door, active vent at the top and has 6 HDD slot inside its right panel and if I remember correctly it is the case that came with i7-980(well I had upgrade the CPU on my 2005 PC with this Core i7 too and it was really worth to upgrade considering the first i7 gen was beast and can hold up in gaming longer in around 8 or 9 years where it could still be able to reach around 60 fps even in 1080p) if I'm not mistaken. Well, I never owned one since I just using my ALX desktop(the 2004 edition as it show in this video) but my friend and cousin had them and they are great gaming desktop for sure. Also, the Aurora ALX with active vent too.
I bought an Area 51 ALX in 2007, I still have that case. Thirteen years later, after some home builds, I'm expecting delivery tomorrow on an Aurora R11. Alienware, I'm back!
The mid 2000's had the best designs. That's why I collect vintage Alienware laptops because the design is so weird and Alien. Now it's too Human future like... Aliens are from another galaxy, make it look that. ... I wish they would go back to the old designs 😭😭😭 0:18
Do you guys have like, tours of your HQ? I have had 9 Alienware computers in the past 13 years and think this kind of history is great. My first Alienware was an Alienware m9750 with 2 8700m GTs in SLi, an Intel Core 2 Duo t7600 @ 2.33 GHz, and 2 GB of DDR2 RAM. That opened the world of PC gaming to me.
It's a shame the software holds back the top tier hardware. In 2019 the Area 51m (desktop replacement) is stuck at 2400MHz ram speed, no XMP. The BIOS is locked down, the only thing you can do is adjust your CPU Multiplier... What a shame... Guess that will come with the 51m rev. 2...
Even the Area 51m can't handle some hard modding like their old laptop(M17x r4 and M18x r2 are the example) used to be. Also, Dell is what ruining their legacy after all
Got mine in 2008 Been running ever since Looking at my second Alienware computer The Aurora 13 looks like they fixed some of the issues plaguing their designs Looks sick!!
Just bought a 2004 Case lmao. Its so freakin dope. Unfortunately not airbrushed like that one is nor does it have the liquid cooling at the top but its definitely an incredible case design. Standard interior so I can fit my modern pc inside. Room for 4 disc drives and 6 harddrives which is insane. Absolutely never going to get rid of this case
I have the 2004 alienware case in plasma purple for sale if anyone is interested from what I can find I'm starting to think it's one of the only ones left as I cannot find another like it anywhere the insides have been removed but would be a nice project upgrading it to today's specs with that retro case
Got my first alienware, r12 today 👽 🙃 Can I install a 1tb sshd for gaming storage before even turing it on for the first time?? Or should I just wait until later. I dont want to screw anything up with the initial os setup on the m.2
I just ordered an R11 the other day, the ONLY downside is the lack of Thunderbolt 3. Could have at least put a header on the mobo like the R8. That's the biggest negative on the R10 and R11.
If Alienware sold cases. Especially the ones from 2003 to 2005. They would sell like hot cakes. Mainly the 2003 to 2005 era. They are still selling on ebay. Hard to find and so on. Alienware needs to broaden up. I know there owned by dell since 2006. If Alienware are selling monitors. Why not sell cases too.
me with alienware alpha: :) everyone with alienware aurora: .-. me: OMG :O SO FAST! (128GB OF RAM?) WOW!! the alpha is a great machine to this day. cant imagine the aurora after years
Bought one of these (The R9 - maxxed out - 2080ti) 2 years ago. Actually no, the swing arm is not efficient or easy to work with. It's extremely junk. And this thing BURNS UP because there's no air flow. The fans crank up, and then slow down, every 15 seconds while playing witcher. It's suuuper annoying and loud.
I find it funny how they hype the air flow system, when it's actually the worse part of the computer. Come on. it needed 2 front fan and a bigger chassis. The Power Supply is right next to the CPU.The fact they had to build a water cooled GPU because of high temp.... and don't even think about having your CPU air cooled is this.
It's not over priced. Building the same build on site is about the same price. That build it you self thing is old, since companies found out they can make more money by selling each item for more now.
Your current designs are boring af, its called alienware, it should look unique, the only difference between current models and your competitors computers is the badge. Please make computers that are unique and visualy exciting, that look like something previously not seen by mankind, because that is the only reason to pay the extra premium.
It should be more like degradation. Comparing last years Alienware Dell models to something you can build yourself is pretty sad. Outdated and very cheap components (for that price) in somewhat fancy cases. Dont fall for Dells marketing machine, those things arent nearly worth the asked premium price.
Yeah, at this time they are gone backward ever since Dell took over and when the og founder left but back in the day they were used to be a great custom gaming PC builder
Omfg that 2004 one looks sick !!
I remember seeing those in some game informer magazines back in the day. They were definately the representation of what alienware was about.
Not to mentioned, back then they were used to be a great custom gaming PC builder. Up there with Voodoo PC and Falcon Northwest
@@sidtrooper should have kept it imagine how much it would be worth now or even have it on a shelf coz it looks sick
You mean by it's the only one that looks like an actual alien?
@kapitonce yup 😅 I like the futuristic look of the new models, tho.
Finally, A Dyson that can run Crysis~~~
I’ve always thought the Alienware PCs looked like something you could buy at bed bath and beyond. Looks like a humidifier
The 2004 design was the best in my opinion, I wish they'd re-introduce that style into the line up. That new Aurora looks very nice as well, much nicer than the one it's replacing. I never was a fan of the current Aurora design.
Looked kinda bland tbh.
Yup. It's amazing than new one
Alienware 2015 to the 2004 were the best
That ALX is still one of the best Alienware design of all time !! Before I could build any PC, I tried bought that one in 2005, a years after its released and I still keep it in my room with the hardware had been upgrade for a years and cooling system had been modified !
Evolution? They left out several desktop models? 🤔
They didn't bother to include the revisions.
They also forgot the 2009 Area 51 ALX R1 which the cases has hidraulic door, active vent at the top and has 6 HDD slot inside its right panel and if I remember correctly it is the case that came with i7-980(well I had upgrade the CPU on my 2005 PC with this Core i7 too and it was really worth to upgrade considering the first i7 gen was beast and can hold up in gaming longer in around 8 or 9 years where it could still be able to reach around 60 fps even in 1080p) if I'm not mistaken.

@@ytanonymity3585 Yo I need help learning about these, can you maybe help?
What do you want
The old ALX Versions are amazing. Plz make a remake.
The old Area 51 was the most sick crazy chassis ever with automatic fin opening they should bring that back this new one just looks boring!!
I had that one with the i7 980x! Badass!
@@Shreddinstan which that CPU still going strong to run some game today
@@ytanonymity3585 yeah its still going strong!
The cases design team is evolving - just backwards
I bought an Area 51 ALX in 2007, I still have that case. Thirteen years later, after some home builds, I'm expecting delivery tomorrow on an Aurora R11. Alienware, I'm back!
2004 alienware was the best bring it back
Did anyone else catch the brief shot of the R11? Time stamp 1:08! This vid from 08/20/19......
Mind boggling 😍😍😍😍
I want it.
The mid 2000's had the best designs. That's why I collect vintage Alienware laptops because the design is so weird and Alien.

2004 pc is a beast in terms of looking
2004 model are ahead of its time. The case design and it use water-cooling (PowerMac G5 also use water-cooler)
Where are the Area-51 and Aurora ALX?? Pretty much the most appealing chassis
If you meant for the 2009 version which has active vent at the top of the case, well yeah they missed it though :-(

I get mine next week! Soooo excited!
I like the designs now but more color options like back in the day and some crazy limited edition stuff like back then would be nice
Yup, with the spray painted on the case like at 0:19 was what make their desktop cool too !
The new design is such a fresh and unique design! No more boring boxy shape!
I hate curvy oval shapes. early 90s computers looks better
They need to bring that 2004 one back! Or at least the tower case!
0:19 2004 thumbnail reminded me of TEKKEN 7 Yoshimitsu's face

Pls add 1440p resolution
Huh??
These were way ahead of it’s time.
Got mine in 2008
Been running ever since
Looking at my second Alienware computer
The Aurora 13 looks like they fixed some of the issues plaguing their designs
Looks sick!!
You let company disappointed gamers

2004 = instant buy
Great cpu temps they say hm
*90 degrees Celsius when gaming*
I just ordered an R11 the other day, the ONLY downside is the lack of Thunderbolt 3. Could have at least put a header on the mobo like the R8. That's the biggest negative on the R10 and R11.
The 51 I think was the direction to go or lean into the alien thing. Get some weird towers.
I love Area 51 ALX so much but the problem was I have been born too late😭
Just ordered the R9 but would love to see 2004 look come back clear side case 4 sho and lights a better version!
I'll take 20
I came for that thumbnail Alienware lately youve been failing me.
Express yourself with a prebuilt and not a custom pc which is literally perfect for self expression.
yes but why does the lunar light chassie have more lighting than the dark side?
Please bring back the x51 !
Ay when’s mine gunna come my guy I ordered it and it says it coming in a month and a half y’all gotta work on shipping
Theres massive part shortages due to corona biz. Took me over a month to get mine
Best one
2004
A gamers pc brand period. 👍
@AlienwareChannel Please make an updated version of this video, for both desktops n laptops. 👽
bet
HEY Vsauce, Michael here.
If you actually pay for an alienware, I feel bad for you
If Alienware sold cases. Especially the ones from 2003 to 2005. They would sell like hot cakes. Mainly the 2003 to 2005 era. They are still selling on ebay. Hard to find and so on.

Omg gotta get one of these new desktops
me with alienware alpha: :) everyone with alienware aurora: .-. me: OMG :O SO FAST! (128GB OF RAM?) WOW!!
the alpha is a great machine to this day. cant imagine the aurora after years
More Cool Laptops pls... But not so Loud..
Never knew Alienwares came in a beige box at one point.
Is there any collaboration with Nespresso? 😁
HAHAHAHAHHAA
i miss alienware alpha
Haha me too
Me need see how build this 2019 PC machine.
Hope to meet big or super tower desktop soon.
He said the X51 is the smallest desktop, but isn't that the Alienware Alpha LOL?
I just wish there was a ryzen version
Congratulations!
there is now
Looks like jet, but sounds exactly like jet engine as well. 😂
wasn't alienware alpha the smallest desktop gaming computer? o.Ó
Yes it is
Bring back the Hangar 18
"Upgrade-ability of the desktop"... Hahahahaha, man it's funny to look back on this and laugh at the blatant lies in this video.
Real enthusiasts are not their target market it seems.
I like them
I love alienware
I like the 2004 model.
@0:16 was my fav
That Alienware Chieftec Dragon is cool too as their old school style :-)
That's cool pc
@
Alienware can you made something not from plastic?
I think the material is made from metal+plastic
Bro it's Alienware it should be like Aliens space craft.. not jet engines.. jets are humans made thing
But It so shame for the design that the back metal panel doesn't come in black lo~!
I don’t user why would they put the Alienware logo on the left side
They had soooo cool designs back then in the early 2000s!! No they are just overpriced and standard... :(
We need a new alpha!!!!!!!!!
bring back the area 51 ALX! from 2010
Yeah mine is probably better than all of them put together. That kf and 3090 in that r12 is no joke. Alot of power
In 2026 The Alienware X-1
Bought one of these (The R9 - maxxed out - 2080ti) 2 years ago.
Actually no, the swing arm is not efficient or easy to work with. It's extremely junk.
And this thing BURNS UP because there's no air flow. The fans crank up, and then slow down, every 15 seconds while playing witcher. It's suuuper annoying and loud.

Too small for great cooling(imo).
RIP wallet
i loved alienware i loved the feel it gave out but man you guys are gonna be bankrupt soon man.
@a man george because they are terrible computers. Ever since Dell bought alienware its all marketing. They arent actual gaming PC's lol.
its super overprice
I guess is too expensive
Hmm so would Falcon Nortwest...
Alienware had a chance but now, meh
Since 2006 it sucks
The new design looks boring.
That's why I never interest any of their latest product nowadays
Please no

Their cases still look like pc cases. Everything else in the RGB era look like toys.
No, they look like toys, too. So much plastic, lol.
It should be more like degradation. Comparing last years Alienware Dell models to something you can build yourself is pretty sad. Outdated and very cheap components (for that price) in somewhat fancy cases. Dont fall for Dells marketing machine, those things arent nearly worth the asked premium price.
Overpriced and over engineered. Build it yourself and save thousands. Also who uses Nintendo GRAY for the case in 2020? Looks like garbage.
Alien ware sucks lol
Meh
You can say that for the current Alienware
All famtastic but 2004...👎
Overpriced trash with cheap oem components
Yeah, at this time they are gone backward ever since Dell took over and when the og founder left but back in the day they were used to be a great custom gaming PC builder
