The design is similar to what we have seen from Alienware, and it is certainly what you would expect from an Area-51 Desktop PC. It uses a full-size 80L tower PC case with next-gen NVIDIA graphics,the latest Intel CPUs, as well as standard components like PSUs, storage, fans and more, allowing users to further upgrade the system at a later date.

Dell is also introducing the new positive-pressure cooling system design, which is said to provide 25 percent more airflow and run up to 13 percent cooler and 45 percent quieter, most likely compared to previous Alienware systems.

Here are some of the key features and specifications:

• Dual channel RAM configurations up to 64 GB DDR5 XMP (2x 32 GB) at 6400 MT/s.
• Up to 8 TB of Storage via 4 TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 4 SSD (boot) + 4 TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 4 SSD (storage).
• Armed with either 360 mm Liquid Cooling (LC) or 240 mm LC, while enabling a DIY upgradeability path to 420 mm LC.
• Powered by a 1500 W Platinum Rated ATX12VO Power Supply (PSU) or an 850 W Gold Rated ATX12VO PSU.
• Seven customizable AlienFX lighting zones with over 16.7 million colors and six different lighting effects, all managed in the Alienware Command Center (AWCC).
• Optional Alienware Elite Care customer support, offering 24/7 customer support, accidental damage coverage, onsite repairs and more.
• Built with recycled materials including 85% post-consumer recycled plastic and power supply units with 50% recycled steel and recycled copper.

According to Dell, the first configurations of the new Alienware Area 51 Desktop PC will be available later in Q1, with launch price set at ~$4,499 (w/ a high-end, next-gen, NVIDIA GPU).
