It just felt off. I'll explore it more in the future.

Well, it's been purchased

Dell VR Bundle
Quantity 1

Arrives Tuesday, Oct 24

New Alienware Area-51
Quantity 1

Arrives Nov 15-20

November can't come soon enough


I can't wait to benchmark....

GET INSIDE.

The Area-51's three corners are built to support 5 times the system's weight. Pivot the system towards you and gain easy access to the rear ports when connecting or disconnecting cables. There is even a button on the back of the chassis that turns on the rear accessibility lighting to reduce the need of having to use a flashlight.

CARRY ON.
Transport your ultimate gaming rig anywhere. The rugged handles make the Area-51 more natural to carry. The shape and internal component layout are designed to have a low center of gravity to avoid the system from tipping when being lifted.

EASY ACCESS.
The angular shape is designed to have all the I/O ports facing you directly, making connecting a USB device, headphones, or even a media card reader easier than on a traditional rectangular chassis design.

That case is hideous

That case is hideous

For real breh.

Finally finished my build brehs

And none of my rgb inside the case works properly except my ram

I think my commander pro unit is faulty because the hd120 fans spin up as they should, but only one is lit up in the led port. None of the led strips are lit so I assumed that port isn't working right. The pro doesn't even show up in corsair link.

Everything else is great. I ordered 3200 ram without doing proper research and seeing that it won't reach that on my motherboard

But I do have it clocked to 2667
Ryzen 5 1600 running at 3.7 and I have downloaded the drivers for gtx 1060 6gb gpu. Overall, I love the build. should keep me good for the next few years if not longer as I'm not a super graphics person. 1080p for my rts games will suit me fine

Pics coming soon.
Parts used:
Ryzen 5 1600 with wraith spire cooler

^Nice battlestation. My next build will definitely have liquid cooling and nice cable management--too lazy cleanup my current box. Gonna hold out till Icelake to upgrade my build, but Coffeelake and Ryzen did temp me this year.

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

How are you liking the 1060 breh?

I have a GeForce gtx1060 3gb. Thinking about upgrading when the 1070ti drops.

 

[Theolodius_Black]

I have mostly old games as I'm a gog.com head so I haven't pushed it as of yet though I am planning on hitting it with skyrim and maybe the witcher at some point. When I properly test it, you'll be the first to know bruh bruh
