A 5 star rating by Coatsworth340 : "... When I was looking to buy a new and better computer, I saw the X51 and I knew that it was for me. The size of the X51 is about the same size as my Elite Xbox 360, which is fantastic because it does take up much space, it is super quiet ...." Read full review

recommended award
Alienware X51 "Recommended Award" 9/10 Feb 2012
