Hardware: Playing PC games with Alienware's Aurora ALX

When Dell purchased the Miami-based Alienware in 2006, it was a signal that the big PC makers wanted to get into the hearts and minds of PC gamers, many of which spend thousands of dollars each year upgrading and/or building new systems on their own. The idea, of course, is to get those heavy gamers and DIY PC makers to purchase the high end models that made Alienware successful.
However, for a while it looked like Dell was fighting with itself on the high end PC gamer market with Dell's own XPS systems which had cool designs, liquid cooling, special lighting and more. Thankfully Dell decided to retire the XPS brand, at least for high end gaming, and do what it should have done in the first place: let Alienware PCs and branding be Dell's representative to PC gaming.
