Last year, we were fortunate enough to get the scoop on new Alienware gaming machines to hit down under. Even back then I was amazed at the sheer processing power of these gaming brutes.
A few weeks ago we received shipment of the ridiculously spec’d Alienware Aurora Desktop that was going to be given away as part of the Alienware Clan Challenge and decided to do it some justice by putting together an unboxing video review.
Please take note the unit that we reviewed was a fully geared up unit that’s valued at around AU$6,000. Don’t worry if you don’t have that much cash to splash on a gaming rig, as the basic config Alienware Aurora starts at around AU$2,299.
