Alienware’s gaming desktop is gaining a major makeover thanks to the new Aurora R16, available for purchase now, ditching the angular, obtuse design for one that feels a bit more “alien.”
Presenting as a mid tower box, with a massive footprint and large plastic covering, feeling a lot larger than it actually is, and fits in better with standard gaming desktops.
The case is about 40% smaller than the previous design, while maintaining the same 25.2 liter volume, with improved airflow bringing forth a 20% quieter system, and up to 10% lower CPU and 6% lower GPU temperatures.
Air moves through bright stadium lighting, contributing to a 50% improvement in “open airflow ratio.” This means more air is allowed through the sides of the front panels, moving through the case, and exited through the vents on the side panel, and the single rear exhaust.
The side panel appears clear, but comes with an opaque side panel with some configurations. The CPU has a choice between Intel Core i9-1200F, Core i7-13700F, and Core i9-13900F.
All GPU choices are Nvidia, with the choice between RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Ti, and RTX 4080. The machine is also being offered with RTX 3050, with the company bailing on RTX 4090.
The default configuration comes with Core i7-13700F, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, a clear side panel, and RTX 4070.
