Looking to purchase...[Area 51 question]
Im looking to purchase an Alienware Area 51 sortof "Barebones" set up
I currently own the R1 aurora but am wondering If I can buy an Alienware Area 51 case, motherboard, PSU, and liquid cooler/fans.
Im not up to spending 2grand just to get the case and then transfer my equipment in my aurora to the area 51.
I really like the design of the area 51 case and I'd like a bigger case for SLI and my custom cooling system.
But Like i said i'm just not willing to pay 2 grand to up the case.
Anyway that the sales team could give me a way to get this and i can make my own custom system out of it all?

That'd be the LGA 1366 socket motherboard.

This guy usually has some area 51 cases. I would call them and work from there

Already saw that.
The detail said it had known issues.
I'd gladdly drop 300$ fast on something like that but I dont know if it works
I would rather buy one from alienware themselves.

If your thinking about buying one from dell your gonna spend ALOT more!!!!! Just take this for an example a generic GTX 580 graphics card from dell is $1000, Thats more than double the market average. I would highly not recommend buying anything but the whole system from dell. They try to make insane amounts off they're parts after the fact.
