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.

Alienware said today it is bringing back into its fold of desktop computers a popular model with revised features. The Alienware Aurora will price, depending upon configuration, at under $1,000.

The specialty computer maker said this desktop fully equipped has a quad core AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition CPU and dual ATI Radeon 3870X2 GPUs with 2GB of combined, dedicated graphics memory. It also offers a fully-integrated AMD Spider/ASUS 790FX-based platform, up to 4TB of hard drive capacity and 4GB of DDR2 memory.

Alienware is doing a major update to its Area-51 7500 flagship system and relaunching it as the Area-51 desktop. The starting price on this monster of a gaming PC is around $2,100.

The Alienware Area-51 PC new sports the NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI-based motherboard as well as an NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 dual GPU single graphics card, according to Alienware. There is also support for DDR3 memory up to 2GHz, compatibility with 1600MHz FSB Intel CPUs and higher BIOS overclocking.

Alienware has been showing off today a new desktop PC which offers up quad graphics processors for advanced gaming needs. It is call the Alienware ALX CrossFireX.

This new Alienware PC gaming machine is certainly a nice looking computer, but its looks are easily matched by what is under the hood. This towner utilizes two ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics cards, each housing two GPUs and a full 1GB of dedicated graphics memory. It also supports DirectX 10.1 and runs Windows Vista.

Take a look at these images of an Alienware mobile phone that would be built on the Android platform. it possesses has the familiar look of the Alienware computers with a glowing grill when calls come in and a a slide-up display to reveal a touch-sensitive keypad and a joystick for mobile gaming right in the middle. We can’t disagree that this phone might be the most popular design with hardcore gamers and Star Trek fans, but probably not the biggest hit on the market. Of course we’re eager to see any phone running Android and this one is no exception, but these look to be just designs for now.
