Alienware has just announced a new version of their M17x notebook dubbed the Nebula Red, due to it being shockingly red. Aside from the snazzy name and the over abundance of redness, this new version adds a few new features.

This one sports an anodized red aluminum case, a backlit keyboard that lights up with what else-red tinting. You can change the light color for something different.

Alienware’s latest LCD monitor, the OptX AW2210 is touted as being “ideal for the latest-generation games and high-definition movies”. This 21.5-inch LCD monitor sports a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and features a 2ms response time, a 80,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 300 cd/m2 brightness.

That’s not all. It also comes equipped with some fancy ports fer pluggin’ yer stuff in. Two audio ports, four USB 2.0 ports, a DVI port and two HDMI connectors.

Dubbed the “all-powerful” gaming laptop, Alienware just may be onto something here. It features a pair of 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M GPUs, a Core 2 Extreme quad-core CPU at the top end with up to 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory, and 1TB of 7200-rpm disk or a 512GB SSD.

When it comes to Alienware one of the first things that always jumps to my mind are seriously expensive computers. For the computer gamers out there that just don’t want to bother with building their own gaming rigs, Alienware has been a popular alternative—so long as the budget allows.

We took a look at the ALX desktop in March when it was first offered with quad graphics. Alienware announced today that it has updated its Area-51 ALX desktop and was re-launching the line. The centerpiece of the updated rig is the availability of the industry’s first overclocked Intel QX9770 running stable at 4GHz available direct from the maker.

Alienware is well known for its gaming notebooks and desktops and it is also well known for selling some of the most expensive computers on the planet. Alienware announced its latest gaming notebook this week called the Area-51 m17x and the machine lives up to Alienware’s image on both performance and cost fronts.

The m17x can be optioned with the fastest notebook products available including Intel’s 45nm Core 2 Extreme X9000 mobile processor. The machine can also be had with dual NVIDIA 8800M GTX graphics cards in SLI mode. The m17x uses a 17-inch LCD with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1200 and can be had with a backlit keyboard.

If you were on Alienware’s newsletter list you might have gotten notice last night that the company has quietly made the new m15x gaming notebooks available for order. The new Area-51’s come have a few configurations in the lineup with the tow higher-end ones available now for $2099 and $2699.

The m15x is a 15.4-inch widescreen notebook with the Intel Core 2 Extreme processor and the NVIDIA GeForce 8800m GTX. You can get up to 4GB of DDR2 memory, dual HDD and high-def video and audio. They also feature Command Center and a Stealth Mode power management. There is also a $1499 model that is listed on the site but not available for order quite yet. As NotebookReview points out, the $2100 model looks to be a pretty decent deal with the Core 2 Duo processor, quality graphics card, fast HDD and 2GB of memory.

Alienware continues to break ground with its notebooks as the company is now boasting the first consumer-available portable system that comes with an internal 320GB hard drive. What can you do with 320GB? Well, according to Alienware you’re looking at up to 53 games, 80 movies or over 81,000 songs giving you an estimated 339 days of continuous music.

The company is offering the 15.4-inch Area-51 m1550, the 17-inch Aurora m9700 and the Area-51 m9750 with the new, larger 5400RPM hard drives. Since the 17-inch models have dual drive bays you can even double that and have two drives either separate or in a RAID array. They also have the option of paring with SSD drives to give you the best of both worlds in storage and speed.

High performance computer manufacturer Alienware today began offering a quick ship version of one of its popular laptop configurations. The new Alienware Area-51 m5550 Quick Ship has a starting price of around $1,700.

The Alienware Area-51 m5550 Quick Ship laptop is designed to ship within two days of payment confirmation and is available in limited quantities. It offers a number of useful features including an Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics card, 160GB hard drive and an 8X Dual Layer CD-RW/DVD±RW.

Today Alienware announced that they will start selling notebooks that utilize Solid State Drives (SSD) to improve performance through the drives faster read and write speeds. The SSD drives will be offered in the Area-51 m9750, Aurora m9700 and Area-51 m5550 notebooks.

In addition to getting your notebook with the fast flashed-based storage, two of the notebooks will also offer dual 64GB SSD drives in a RAID 0 configuration. The company is even offering a dual drive configuration that combines a 32GB SSD drive for faster booting and running applications along with a 200GB standard hard drive for general storage, which really gives you the best of both worlds in one (likely heavy) notebook.

Notebooks running with flash-based storage are starting to become more commonplace not only due to the increased speed but also because they’re able to run quieter with no moving …

If the cost of shelling out a couple thousand bucks for a real Alienware gaming PC has been holding you back then you can now do the computer equivalent of owning a fake Rolex. Alienware is now selling its P2 computer case so you can make your rig look like one of those funky alien heads that the company is known for.

The case kit will cost you $399, which isn’t cheap at all, but it sure beats spending ten times that amount for a rig. You can choose between black or silver and thrown in with the shell is the unit’s internal blue lighting to give it that alien-esque glow as well as a 700-watt power supply. If you do decide to pick up a chassis to show off to your clan pals just make sure that you don’t wait too …
