The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The 240mm liquid cooling system is included to handle heat during extended gaming or streaming, which matters if you plan to push the system hard for hours at a time.
- You get Alienware's Command Center software to customize lighting effects across the case and create different performance profiles for different games, though this adds another layer of software to manage.
- The case is designed to be quieter than previous models while maintaining good airflow, so it should run cooler and less loudly than you might expect from a high-powered gaming PC.
As of Aug 30, the Alienware Aurora Gaming Desktop ACT1250 is overpriced at $2957 — versus a $2789.17 typical price and a $2299.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
