Extraterrestrial fun: Alienware Aurora

You're an extreme gamer are you, punk? You think you know your SLI systems? You think you know how to daisy-chain high-end graphics cards and overclock processors? God, you sicken me. Truly sicken me. Get out of my sight.

This is the Alienware Aurora 7500SLI and it's here to mess you up. It's here to kick you in the teeth and jam polygons down your throat until you're dead. Then it'll take your corpse and put two nVidia processors in your eyes to pay the boatman. That's how ruthlessly quick it is.

Our Aurora arrived this morning, and as soon as we can get Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory to accept its own perfectly good registration code, we'll let you know how it fares as a gaming monster. For now we're content to stare into its glowing red eyes and ventilation ports. This is the 1960 Ford Thunderbird of PCs -- all flared arches and metallic paint -- and we love it. -CS
