i have the X51 R2 ive looked but maybe im not wording it correctly ... is there a way i can get JUST the Alienware water cooler for my rig, OR is i simply made for the R3?.

Does the graphic card amplifier, comes with more powerful power supply to run the titian card?

[TheGadgetGuy]

So, what id like to know is if you were to buy the External graphics amp, and uve got it hooked up, does the system automatically recogise what your doing and use that card, instead of the one inside the X51? What happens to the card inside the X51 while the external one is bein used in its place?

Hi, i'm looking for a watercooling for my x51 r2, an idea?

[EsotericDesi]

is there a way to upgrade the processor in the future without having to buy whole new system down the line?

[ShoresOfHelll]

Guys if I buy the model with 3.5" HDD. Can I add a 2.5" SSD as boot drive? Also does it fit newer GPU like 1070 or 970? Thanks.

Anybody know whether i could buy an individual liquid cooling unit from DELL?

[fouadzouraibi]

what bugs me most is sound system i have an x51 r2 and i run a soundbar with digital cable and headset with 3.5 mm jack but in the R3 i cant and as you said if im gonna buy a small tower cuz i need a small tower, so they should remove that stupid amplifier and bring back the other port optical port FOR MIC and SOUND.

I have the r2 with a i5 and Gtx 645 and I run world of Warcraft at 1080 on ultra at 120 fps will the r3 be a improvement?

[tonysmar]

an r9 nano inside and it's perfect

[SrtRacerBoy]

you can for full sized cards in these x51's.
I have ran a 970, 1070, and 1080 in my x51 R2, all reference design, and they all work great

[stanlimlhy]

wow, can i buy the water cooler for my r2?

[KhangNguyen-rmmi]

I wonder if the R3 has a front face is metal or plastic

[TimSammartino]

So this is where Gordon went to, Sweet I was bummed when he left MPC

[fjaajf]

I just like it how "reckless" he goes on handling those stuff.

[xklbr]

[Texaspotato]

The 960 does gta 5 @ 1080 60fps high settings

[lordsith]

i have a gtx 980 in my x51 standard size card

[zuhardi]

hmmm.. better build a custom pc with slim tower

[chazzychaz]

Alienware X51 + Amplifier is stupid idea
they should had just mod/change the case design and offer a better PSU

GTX 960 it just too weak
