14U News have published a review of the Alienware Area-51 7500 Desktop PC. 'The system that I am reviewing has just about everything that you can get on an Alienware Area-51 7500 desktop save a second 8800 GTX for SLI and the PhysX card that is of questionable value anyway. The CPU in this rig is the beastly Intel GX6700 Core 2 Quad Extreme edition that I run in one of my test machines which is the fastest quad core CPU around right now. Alienware cooled the CPU in my review sample with tier AlienIce liquid cooling system and integrated their AlienFX lighting system as well.

The AlienIce 3.0 video cooling system sounds like it puts liquid cooling on the graphics card, which it does not. The card cooling comes from vents in the side panels while the CPU gets liquid cooling with an internal radiator that uses ¼” tubing to route water from the radiator through a small CPU cooling block. Those into overclocking know that small-bore tubing on liquid cooling systems limit the performance, but to be honest hard core overclockers are not likely to be shopping for pre-built systems. The AlienFX system is a series of LED lights that illuminate the Alienware case badges, side vents, and the drive area on the front of the case.'
