CNET Review
The Good: The affordable Alienware X51 brings innovation to slim-tower PCs by offering a full-size graphics card.
The Bad: Despite the big 3D card, the X51's slim-tower chassis still has a limited upgrade path.
The Bottom Line: Alienware has successfully brought its brand to an affordable, suitably stylized package, and I can recommend the X51 to anyone in the market for a mainstream gaming PC.

Review Summary: Among built-to-order gaming PCs, Alienware is about as close as one gets to a household name, and the brand is largely synonymous with huge black boxes covered in garish blinking lights. The new Alienware X51 ($999 as configured, as of February 3,...
The Verdict: I had a chance to check out the X51 a few weeks ago at a launch event here in San Francisco, and I'm as impressed now as I was then. The X51 is a step in the right direction for Alienware: Large, imposing gaming rigs aren't going anywhere, but one of...
