Alienware Gets Cool with Aurora 7500

By Digital Trends Staff August 17, 2005

Computer manufacturer Alienware today announced a new version of their Aurora 7500 desktop. This souped up computer features several new â€œcutting edge advancementsâ€.

The Aurora 7500, said Alienware, now comes with a liquid cooling technology they designed. This delivers what Alienware says is up to a 30% improvement in thermal performance and is quieter because there are no internal fans. Also featured is the Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX KO ACS3 graphics card and Microsoft’s Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

“The Aurora 7500, backed by the power of AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 processors and NVIDIA SLI graphics technology, was already a top choice of gamers,” said Patrick Cooper, director of product management for Alienware. “By adding these latest incredible enhancements, the Aurora 7500 continues to push performance barriers.”

This Alienware gaming PC with an RTX 3080 is $1,500 off today

alienware aurora r15 review 20

Alienware has made many strides in capturing the top-end of the gaming PCs market, especially with their out-of-this-world-looking Aurora cases. Unfortunately, that also tends to mean that they're pretty expensive, even more so if you go for a version with higher-end specs like this Auror R14. Luckily, Alienware has an amazing 4th of July discount, with it going for $1,900 rather than the usual $3,400, which is a whopping $1,500 and probably one of the best deals we've seen this year.

Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R14 Ryzen Edition
The thing most folks care about when talking about a gaming PC is the GPU, and we're happy to report that the Aurora R14 is sporting the RTX 3080, and while it's not the version with 12GB of VRAM, it's still a powerhouse of a card. The RTX 3080 is right on the edges of good 4k gaming, which means you can take advantage of any gaming monitor deals, although we'd suggest going for a 2k monitor with a high refresh rate rather than 4k. Besides the excellent GPU, we also absolutely love the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, which might be a bit overkill, but it's certainly a powerful CPU, possibly one of the best. That means you can do anything, from playing CPU-intense simulation games to complex audio editing and even streaming to Twitch or Youtube.
