They can be orderd overclocked up to 4.0GHZ and they come with dual CrossFire ATI Radeon HD 3870 cards.

The Area-51 ALX CF is not cheap though with a starting price of $5,499 (about £2,750).

I had a play about on the Alienware site, adding all the top hardware options, and managed to get the price up to $11,670 (about £5750)

You can order the Area-51 ALX CF online from Alienware. via Engadget

    Although the price is very steep, I’m sure a lot of people will be purchasing this beast.

    I’ll stay on the safe side and wait :)

    First things first, nvidia will hate it if you call having dual HD3879 cards SLI. It’s Crossfire ;D

    The price is really steep…. eg you could overclock it yourself but you’d have no warranty.. alienware still provide a warranty even overclocked…… it is expensive… £3k to £6k… woah..

    Hey TD

    Thanks for the heads up, I have fixed the post :)

    And the price is high, I bet you could build a couple of serious PC’s which would give it some competition for 6k :)
