Now Building: Alienware Retro Brick Kits!

As we march towards our 30^th birthday as a brand, Alienware is thrilled to announce that exclusively for Arena members, we will be offering two new Alienware Brick Kits, made with Authentic Lego® bricks.

These new kits will be available shortly on the Arena Marketplace in the same regions as our existing lineup of kits today! Each Kit comes with a customized box, containing a unique Alienware 30 logo.

With that out of the way, a trip down memory lane to re-introduce some old friends back into the world (albeit in a smaller form factor).

The Alienware Area-51 Desktop (Release Year: 2002)

2003 CNET Review: “Take one look at the Area-51 from Alienware, and what do you see? Dodge Viper for your home office? Desktop system from outer space? With its otherworldly, molded-plastic case and internal neon light, the Area-51 looks uncannily like a creature from, say, Alien vs. Predator. Based on Intel's new 875P chipset (code-named Canterwood) and a 3GHz Pentium 4 processor, the Area-51 matches its exterior with real prowess under the hood.”

The Area-51 Brick Kit (Predator Green) comes the following specifications:

• Width: 2.5 in / 6.1 cm
• Length: 4.5 in / 11.4 cm
• Height: 5 in / 12.2 cm
• Number of bricks: 372 (5 Printed)

The Alienware Area-51 Desktop (Release Year: 2014)

2015 Hot Hardware Review: “Dell's Alienware division has a knack for making a splash with PC system design, whether it's with their big, bad unapologetic notebooks, unique X51 small form-factor PCs, or their no-holds-barred Area-51 killer gaming rigs. In fact, for some folks, Alienware designs can be an either "you love it or hate it" affair. Full disclosure: personally, we tend to be cut from the former affectionate group of performance enthusiasts that generally favor Alienware's outside-the-box design efforts -- and oh boy, Alienware's recent redesign of the Area-51 is way outside the box. In fact, it's not really even a box at all, it's what Dell's Alienware design team calls a "Triad" design.”

The Area-51 Brick Kit (Triad) comes the following specifications:

• Width: 2.5 in / 6.1 cm
• Length: 6.7 in / 17 cm
• Height: 6.7 in / 17 cm
• Number of bricks: 364 (2 Printed)
• Also Includes: 3 Sticker colorways for the side panel (Teal, Violet, Magenta)

Starting in the next few weeks, you should start to see these kits appear within the Alienware Arena Marketplace of the country you reside, to continue spending that ARP!

If you redeem this kit early, I eagerly want to hear about it. Find me on our discord (in the Arena-Feedback Section must link your account) or post your feedback on Relay and leave some thoughts on the quality, build experience, all of it.

As always…. more to come….and thanks again for your Alienware community membership!
