Alienware has released a budget-priced gaming desktop. The Area-51 750i is based on the NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI motherboard and can be equipped with a Core 2 Extreme QX9650. The unit can feature either twin ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 or twin GeForce GTX 280 graphics cards, depending on your preference. It also has 8GB of DDR2 RAM, Windows Vista 64-bit, an optional Blu-ray burner and an array of ports. The baseline price for the rig is $1,049 which is pretty good considering Alienware PCs used to clock in at nearly four grand.
