Dell's Alienware Area 51 R2 was a pretty polarizing PC when it came out several years ago. It was powerful at the time, but also quite expensive. The questionable shape also proved to be hardware-limiting (as we'll rediscover today). Come along for the ride as we attempt to build a modern, "better" Alienware Area 51 R2 gaming PC than Alienware!

I disagree but with a caveat, the thing about old Alienware cases is you either love them or hate them. Find one you love and have at it. I personally have had My Alienware case for 20 years now its an original Area 51 Predator 1. Im still using it to this day. I have had to mod the $h!t out of it internally over the years for various reasons. Like taking a dremel to the steel to make accommodations for 240 AIO and to accommodate modern graphics cards due to sheer length, but none of the mods I made can be seen from the outside as they are all hidden neatly under the ABS shell. I took great care in preserving the original aesthetic 100%.

they did that design at the front with the fan to duct air into the fan... i.e. efficiently it may be complicated but it was the solution that they came up with to combat the ever-increasing wattage of modern parts. I actually thought that those were some of the coolest looking cases Alienware (dell owned that is) have ever made tbh.

I'm always both impressed and horrified just how overly complex the plastic contraptions and brackets you see in many OEM systems are, that have to design around the obvious limitations of the chassis they clearly designed in the 90's, bought millions of and don't want to send to the scrap pile. I've seen several generations of XPS and Precision systems at work that use the exact same metal chassis outfitted with numerous plastic bits used to attach all manner of more modern hardware that clearly didn't exist when they were making the frame. I've seen images of the insides of a bunch of Alienware systems that also use the exact same chassis, with the huge plastic shells slapped on around them. The chassis design clearly isn't made for hardware from the last 15 years or so, no way near enough airflow. That's made worse with the extra shell slapped over them lol. A lot of XPS and Alienware models are infamous for thermal throttling.

Kinda bummed Corsair doesn't make the H80 or any of its variants anymore. It was a nice way of getting some better cooling out of a 120mm AIO provided you had fans optimized for static pressure. The radiator was basically twice as thick as the H60's, but the H80 still maintained a 120mm form factor. Woulda worked well in this scenario.

My first ever gaming PC was an Alienware x51 r2. It was such crap and even had a laptop-like external power supply. So I got brave enough one day and started to tinker with it. I added some RAM, an SSD, and a new GPU (which I had to cut out the side of the case to get it to fit 😂). As bad of a pc as it was, it’s why I ended up building PC’s. I have built 4 since then and it’s so fun! I would like to thank Dell for getting me to never want to buy a prebuilt again… Nice video btw. It was fun to watch.

Or bored, anyway? What you did was something that not everyone can d. I think it's an amazing build, and as someone who thought about buying that exact machine when it came out, I'd LOVE to have it. You should be proud of the effort it took, your success, and less upset about the time it took. It just shows what a master builder you are. BTW, you're gonna hit a million by the end of 2025. What an amazing milestone. I've watched you since you had 15k subscribers. I love your content. Anyway man, be proud. And be happy that you found something that was a challenge. It's not all about money and views. I know that's important, but life isn't supposed to be easy all the time.

I was recently looking at building a new PC.. but then remembered that my sister worked for Dell.. After checking, I bought one of the 14900kf/4090 Alienware systems.. and ended up paying less than the cost of just the processor and GPU. Figured that, worst case, I could just treat the machine as an expensive bag and build a whole new computer around those two components.. and still save money in the process, lol. That being said, I've been using it for a little while now, and it actually seems to be pretty solid. Cooling seems fine, it's pretty quiet... overall, it seems to be pretty well built. You would be happy to hear that there's also no obvious-super weird stuff like you saw in this case, lol. The most questionable aspect of it to me is the fact that they have a 14900kf cooled using a 120mm AIO. I didn't think that could even remotely be enough.. but while the temps do get a little high, they're not getting into the "eek" range. Doesn't seem to really throttle.. so /shrug

Installing that power supply almost sound like someone putting in the clip for a barret 50 cal. 😂

I think the people buying this case ( as crazy as they are) want the challenge and love the look. I remember seeign a video of some guy modding the front to fit a 240mm radiator if correct. Some people just like the challenge

I pretty much always do things the most long-winded complicated way, so this is build is just normal for me. Edit I put a modern system in a 25 year old case, that was a really difficult build; great end result Greg.

Serious case mods are an acquired taste.. both for building them and using them. It appears that particular bug hasn't bitten you yet! If I could find one of those cases at a reasonable price I'd spend weeks making it into a 'dream' build. It's time consuming, and you have to like the look of the base case because EVERYTHING back in those days was a hot box. But yeah, this was a really cool concept IMO. Thanks!

I may be the only person to say this but I actually quite like the case purely for its shape and silhouette xD I think it looks cool and am thrilled every time it appears in a video but I'm also not a builder of computers which is probably how I can appreciate it's aesthetics without being horrified by the logistics

Did the side panel lighting ever work? If I remember the side lighting was hooked up to the USB3 header and not sure if it works or not if you’re not using the stock motherboard As someone who has one of these 2nd hand, this is the HMS Hood of Dell computers

When we first ordered this on eBay a few weeks ago, the lighting on _one_ of the side panels did not work. We did not attempt to reconnect it with this new board.

it would be interesting to redesign the case as something that actually works.

I Don't know, I loved the end result! But it also didn't come out of my pocket.

I was actually impressed that it had a removable motherboard tray. Btw, about that AIO. LOL JK
