"I recently reviewed the Dell Tower Plus, a prebuilt desktop I liked quite a lot. Turns out, the Aurora Gaming Desktop is almost identical to that PC, but with the Alienware branding (Dell owns Alienware). You get a ring of Tron-esque light around the intake fans at the front, as well as the smattering of honeycomb perforations along the glass window in the side panel. And the alien head itself is the power button."
"It's accurate to say that the Aurora feels like a gamer skin on the Dell Tower Plus, but that's not a complaint. I found a lot to like about the way Dell balanced ease of use, upgradability, and price-and it translates well enough for gaming hardware. It's not using fully off-the-shelf parts, but there's enough here to make specific upgrades well into the future."
Alienware Aurora Gaming Desktop pairs distinctive design elements — a front ring of Tron-like light, honeycomb glass-side perforations, and an alien-head power button — with a user-friendly, tool-less chassis. The system mirrors the Dell Tower Plus while using an Intel Z890 Alienware motherboard with two DIMM slots and two PCIe 5 M.2 SSD slots. GPU, RAM, and storage upgrades are straightforward, but CPU upgrade options are constrained. The build avoids fully off-the-shelf parts yet leaves room for targeted future upgrades. The desktop delivers strong value, particularly during sales around $1,500, although overall performance could be better.
