I usually just run SL on the center one and multi task on the other 2 and yes those curved ones are nice, thats what I'll do next time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) I'll see if I can get a good shot of the computer later when it's darker outside..the sun is blazing through the windows right now and it just looks really neat when it's dark..hehehe This is what we have ,although the same thing here..it doesn't show the liquid cooling in the viewer.. CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz (4007.98 MHz) Memory: 16334 MB OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit (Build 14393) Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 970/PCIe/SSE2 ETA: I finally had to just crawl under the desk to take a picture and still didn't get very good ones.. The first one is with the flash on..We had a couple of the blue fans go bad so we have some black ones in there until we can get around to getting some more..plus he is wanting to put them along the top also,becayse that's all open and just has some magnet screen to keep the dust out.. I think it has like 3 or 4 fans in there now..It's really quiet though which is surprising.. when it has all the fans with the lights,It really lights up and really looks neat..The motherboard has all these really neat lights all over it in red.. I never got to use one of these already made ones before..I like it.. The picture under this one is just with the flash on the camera off..you'll see we are about 3 fans short or it would really be lit up..

Chase01 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) @NostollI am also running an Alienware but I went with a desktop. I paired it with a Corsair mechanical keyboard, Steeleseries headset and I run a dual monitor setup. Edited July 9, 2017 by Chase01 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had an issues with them service or otherwise and I am on my second desktop in about 7 years. First had the Aurora and now the Area 51. I know some dont like them but they always been rock solid for me. Awesome KB & Headphones! BTW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were so many really nice looking systems when we were looking..We both kind of got all caught up in the neat things like the fan doors opening by themselves like a ship was about to take off.. then we started to think about the kids and nephews and niece thinking it was really neat,like a toy or something..so we figured we would be opening a can of worms to where we would have to always be on them to leave it alone.. So we just went with a really nice tower with a little flash to it..Not enough to make them think it was the family xbox or something.. We call that, preventive maintenance..hehehehe Anyways,I went ahead and put in pics of our in my other post up top.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next I want to do a new desk in preparation for a bigger monitor setup. I'll do that when I get my next system. The only thing I don't like about this headset is the lack of good base. The model I previously used from Turtlebeach had that in spades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase01 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 That's the old Aurora tower. The new one is slimmer (thankfully) I also replaced my video card with one that has a silent mode. So the fan on the unit only comes on under hard load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you strip all the lights and whistles (some more literal than they should be) they pack on, Alienware lives up to its name in performance. Otherwise 25% of you CPU power is taken up by making the the case change colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bree Giffen Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 LED lights in most cases use very little power, referring to actual wattage from the power supply and not cpu processing cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase01 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If you're running into an issue with power and you really don't want to swap the PS, you can always consider getting a low voltage video card. This one I am using now uses half the voltage of my old card and is quite a bit better too. Bree is right though. Usually the LED's use very little power.
