Alienware’s Aurora desktop gaming PC has been redesigned to have fun the gaming model’s twenty fifth anniversary.
Sure, Alienware actually has been round because the days when Quake was launched (1996), and to have fun, the Aurora – the agency’s gaming PC which was first launched slightly more just lately, in 2004 – has been graced with an (non-obligatory) clear panel on one facet that allows you to see by means of and admire the innards of the mid-tower case.Accompanying this window to the internals is more customizable lighting, because the PC now has eight lighting zones (twice as many), to make the view inside prettier now that you could really see in there.
The form of the case has been modified considerably, so it’s now curvier, and angled upwards – plus it has that non-obligatory see-through panel – nevertheless it nonetheless retains the identical primary design themes as the prevailing Aurora. It additionally nonetheless is available in white and black colour choices (or Lunar Mild and Darkish Aspect of the Moon, as Alienware payments them).
One other massive design change comes not with the exterior look, however with the interior format and what Alienware describes as a brand new ‘open air’ design.
Primarily, we're speaking about higher airflow (and neater cable administration), with enhancements in thermal efficiency therein. Alienware reckons that the revamped Aurora has 50% more room inside to permit for more room to breathe, with out growing the precise chassis measurement by a lot. Cooling is facilitated by as much as 4 120mm followers, and the bottom configurations of the Aurora may have two of those, with higher-end fashions upping the ante (with liquid cooling choices additionally).
There’s a claimed noise discount, too, with the brand new Aurora managing to be 16% quieter than the previous mannequin when idling (and 15% much less noisy when overclocked).

Evaluation: Alder Lake inside, perhaps – plus ideas on that redesign
Whereas Alienware waxed enthusiastic at nice size regarding the new case design, nothing in regards to the precise spec of the next-gen Aurora was talked about. The sensible cash is on Alder Lake processors, although, provided that these are imminent from Intel (and theoretically can be here in only a few weeks). If operating with Intel’s Twelfth-gen CPUs, then we will count on DDR5 RAM too (identical to the Predator gaming PC which Acer simply revealed – it looks like the time is ripe for Alder Lake-toting machines to be introduced).
As for the brand new design, it’s a particular enchancment in our books. We nonetheless aren’t absolutely offered on the general aesthetic of the Aurora, even with this new incarnation, nevertheless it actually seems to be a step up from the present mannequin, which is, effectively, okay, however we’ve at all times felt it’s slightly yawn-inducing. (Though we’re conscious that others have a unique tackle that, discovering the prevailing Aurora fashionable and distinctive, which is truthful sufficient; it’s actually the latter). As ever, look is a subjective factor, however we really feel this new design is a constructive improvement for certain.
The clear facet panel is a plus level to be within the combine as an possibility, though that mentioned, hardly an innovation, as gaming PCs have had these endlessly. It’s the obvious steps ahead with thermal efficiency that’ll actually matter, after all, and if the brand new Aurora does certainly have Alder Lake chips, it’ll be very fascinating to see how that cooling works in tandem with Intel’s purportedly promising Twelfth-gen silicon.
