The Alienware Aurora ($2,598.99 direct) is definitely for gaming connoisseurs who want a desktop PC that doesn't look like they built it themselves. Only Alienware would have the audacity to build a tower system with four user-controllable lighting zones on the tower, with another two on the keyboard and one on the mouse. The internal components are no slouches either, with a Core i7-2600K processor and twin AMD Radeon HD 6950 video cards for 3D prowess. Other systems with factory-overclocked processors are ultimately faster, but the Aurora has the power to make it on the gaming grid.
