Reasons To Buy

Top-tier gaming versatility

The Alienware Aurora is engineered for exceptional performance with a streamlined, minimal design. This generation of Aurora desktops focuses on reducing acoustics while maintaining airflow, making it a perfect gaming system for any setting.

Legend perfected

Modern design with a matte "basalt black" finish in an optimised chassis with customisable AlienFX lighting zones, including the striking stadium lighting. Available with a Clear Side Panel for showing off the internal components, with the elevated Legend 3 industrial design.

HEXAGONAL SIDE VENTS

An array of hexagonally shaped vents enables passive air intake supporting graphics performance and quieter acoustics.

STREAMLINED DESKTOP

Our Legend 3 design is echoed by the overall compact and functional size of the system, which is about 40% smaller by volume than the previous design and up to 53% smaller than the Area-51.

CLEANER CABLE MANAGEMENT

Seamless internal cable management reduces obstruction of airflow and keeps thermals efficiently managed.

FRONT I/O FLEXIBILITY

High performance front ports enable great connectivity and two of the USB ports include PowerShare technology which lets you easily power your favourite external devices even while the system is shut down.

Intentional thermal strategy

Our design prioritises airflow efficiency and improved acoustics by introducing larger passageways and optimised internal cable management resulting in 20% quieter operation, on average, and 7% lower temperatures compared to the Aurora R15. This approach - combined with liquid cooling CPU option - contributes to an incredibly smooth gaming experience.
