I then proceeded to play some Rise of the Tomb Raider while recording my session using Nvidia's ShadowPlay, which ran without a hitch in the background without slowing down my game.

The system ran smoothly and stayed quiet, even as I hopped between five Twitch streams, downloaded a game and ran a full system scan all at once. Thanks to its Intel Core i7-6700K processor and 16GB of RAM, our Aurora proved to be just as good at juggling tasks as it was at playing visually demanding games. The lighting is fairly subtle, but if you're tired of towers that look like mini nightclubs, that might be a good thing. To put that score into perspective, entry-level VR systems such as the Alienware X51 and the Asus ROG G20CB (both of which have GTX 970 graphics) scored closer to 6. The Aurora fell as far into the "Ready" bracket as possible, with an average quality rating of 11.

When we ran the Metro: Last Light benchmark at 4K on low settings, the Aurora turned in an impressive 114.67 fps. The game still looked great when I lowered the resolution to 2560 x 1600, and ran at an even better 60 fps. Sneaking through a snowy Russian compound in Rise of the Tomb Raider was a joy on Alienware's PC, which effortlessly rendered Lara Croft's snow-speckled hair at 4K while allowing me to take out enemy guards at a swift 45 frames per second. I expected great performance from our GeForce GTX 1080-packed Aurora, and I was not disappointed. The desktop's GTX 1080 card packs three DisplayPorts as well as an HDMI port, leaving plenty of room for multiple monitors. You'll also find an Ethernet jack, two S/PDIF digital output ports and a full suite of 7.1 surround sound inputs. In the back, you'll find six USB 2.0 ports, three USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.1 port and a USB Type-C port, the latter of which is becoming virtually ubiquitous on all types of modern PCs. Alienware's new PC is one of the most painlessly upgradable gaming desktops I've ever used, with a simple and clever set of mechanisms that let you access and swap out parts without requiring any tools.

If you're terrified at the thought of busting out a screwdriver to upgrade your PC, the Aurora is made specifically for you.

The AlienFusion tool lets you tweak all types of power- and energy-saving options, while the AlienAdrenaline feature lets you create custom Game Modes that automatically load up specific lighting settings and trigger additional apps when you launch your favorite title.

The desktop's lighting is fairly subtle by gaming desktop standards, but if you're tired of towers that look like miniature nightclubs, that might be a good thing. It's painlessly easy and pretty fun to customize the Aurora's lights and make your own presets I ended up making a sweet-looking green-and-pink combination that complemented the barely visible glow of the GeForce graphics card inside.
