While the redesign looks rather smart overall, there’s one thing that might cause some eye-rolling.
Alienware’s Aurora desktop gaming PC has been redesigned to celebrate the gaming brand’s 25th anniversary. Yes, Alienware really has been around since the days when Quake was released (1996), and to celebrate, the Aurora – the firm’s gaming PC which was first introduced a little more recently, in 2004 – has been graced with an (optional) transparent panel on one side that lets you see through and admire the innards of the mid-tower case. Accompanying this window to the internals is more customizable lighting, as the PC now has eight lighting zones (twice as many), to make the view inside prettier now that you can actually see in there. The shape of the case has been changed somewhat, so it’s now curvier, and angled upwards – plus it has that optional see-through panel – but it still keeps the same basic design themes as the existing Aurora. It also still comes in white and black color options (or Lunar Light and Dark Side of the Moon, as Alienware bills them). Another big design change comes not with the external appearance, but with the internal layout and what Alienware describes as a new ‘open air’ design.
