Alienware Area 51 R2 Desktop Drivers
I'm trying to find a Cab file for this model Alienware machine, after doing an OS install there are a lot of "unknown devices" left after installing everything from the Dell Support site associated with the service tag. I've been unable to locate an all-inclusive Cab file for the system that will hopefully fix it. Thanks for the help!

Maybe you can send us a screenshot of the device manager and a list of the hardware id’s you are missing so we can help you out finding out which drivers you need.

Instead of using the tag, search here by system model. Do more drivers appear?

No, no master CAB file.
I suggest you install the X99 Intel Chipset driver first (after Windows clean install). This is basically the drivers for your core-motherboard chips.
Either this one, a newer one, or just get latest from Intel.com

Then, you build the system drivers up from there. Here are the others on FTP
