Extreme Technology

By equipping every ALX X-58 desktop with the raw energy of the Intel Core i7 processors, you can unleash the unparalleled performance of the world's fastest CPU. The newest Intel Core i7 965 Extreme packs performance features reserved for only the best processors such as an onboard dedicated memory controller and hyper threading technology. Coupled with liquid cooling standard, Alienware ensures your ALX X-58 not only runs at cool temperatures, but remains quiet as well.

Choose Your Weapon- ATI or NVIDIA

ALX is synonymous with industry-leading graphics. That's why every ALX X-58 desktop computer comes standard with the world's fastest graphics. Alienware engineering utilizes both NVIDIA SLI and ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU technology. Doubling your graphics power delivers higher frame rates, faster rendering times and more realistic PC gaming and 3D environments. For users who like to crank their game settings to the absolute max, the ALX offers incredible quad-GPU options with plenty of dedicated graphics memory to spare. Upgrading to a quad-GPU solution

The BIG Picture

If you want to fully appreciate the power of the ALX X-58 desktop computer, an undersized, square monitor just won't cut it. You need more. You need Alienware's 30-inch, widescreen LCD. Capable of resolutions well above HD's 1080p, this monitor is the ideal platform for video editing and 3D modeling or just kicking back with a Blu-ray movie. The 6 millisecond response time means you can game at max settings without ghosting or residual imagery.

Enthusiast Essentials

The smooth, uninterrupted transfer rates of the Killer™ K1 Gaming Network Card plus the industries' best peripherals from Logitech Razer redefine your PC gaming experience. Not only will you defeat your opponents with the pin-point accuracy of the Logitech G9 mouse, but the Killer K1 network card gives you the speed to see, attack and kill your opponent before they even know you're there. This is next generation gaming.

Cool to the Core

In the world of high performance computing, heat is always the enemy. The Alienware ALX X-58 uses a powerful liquid cooling system to cool down your Intel Core i7 Extreme CPU with a clutter-free rear-mounted radiator. By drawing more heat from your high performance processor, the ALX X-58 achieves increased results over any other Alienware system, all while maintaining lower system temperatures than standard desktop models.

Wiring

Attention to detail on the ALX desktop goes down to the very last wire. Literally. All wires and cables inside the ALX are bundled together and tucked away to create an open, clutter-free chamber. Not only do you get an unobstructed view of the components, but the lack of wires increases airflow. Alienware's wire management also makes it easier to work on your ALX since you don't have to move cables aside or unplug one component to access another.

Tool-Free Access

The ALX desktop utilizes Alienware's tool-free chassis design for easy access and maintenance options. Open your case, remove and install components and swap out drives without using a single tool. Upgrades and troubleshooting are literally a snap. Alienware doesn't take steps to keep you out of your computer's chassis like other manufacturers. ALX desktop users expect more from us. We're happy to deliver.

Industrial Design

Just as a luxury sports car uses innovative style to compliment advanced engine performance, the ALX desktop demands a case design indicative of its internal power. Chrome trim accents the wraparound gills, while an anodized, black chassis continues the crisp aesthetic of the outer design, providing a backdrop to showcase internal features and components. Built on a magnesium alloy frame, the ALX features Alienware's most stable, secure chassis to date.
