Alienware Enters the Small Form Factor Market With the New Area-51 5300

Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Alienware, the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook, media center, and professional systems, announced the availability of the new Alienware Area-51 5300 system, which packs cutting-edge technology in a remarkably compact form factor. The Area- 51 5300 defines flexibility with its ability to adapt to any environment, even space-restricted locations like dorm rooms and cubicles.

Building upon the award-winning success of Alienware's Area-51 line of systems, the new Area-51 5300 provides a full array of functionality beneath a discreetly modern aesthetic. With the simple touch of a button, the Area-51 5300 reveals the optical drive of your choice as well as a series of ports, including USB and FireWire, allowing you to seamlessly integrate your digital devices. The Area-51 5300 also operates at an exceptionally quiet level, thanks to a copper-based heatsink solution, which uses a series of heatpipes and a large radiator to cool even the fastest processors, and a nearly silent 92mm fan, which ensures temperatures are always kept under control.

Equipped with a PCI Express x16 graphics slot, Intel Pentium 4 processor and up to 2GB of DDR memory, the Area-51 5300 brings new levels of digital realism for both work and play in a conveniently small design. The Area-51 5300 is the ideal choice for a wide variety of users, from hardcore gamers desiring next-generation power to businesses looking for reliable performance that fits limited spaces.

"High-performance meets compact size with Alienware's new Area-51 5300 system," said Robert Lusk, vice president of sales and marketing for Alienware. "Alienware is raising the bar for excellence in the small form factor market through the Area-51 5300's blend of power and space-saving design."
