The Area 51 ALX systems from Alienware are their flagship desktop computers. Our review unit came with three nVidia GeForce 280 GTX video cards, each carrying 1GB of dedicated GPU RAM. We had to crack it open to see what a case full of video cards actually looks like.

Follow this link for a full review of the Alienware Area 51 ALX.
