Alienware have announced the launch of the X51 mini gaming desktop. "The smallest desktop Alienware has ever created," according to the press release, it sits in an exciting position between the power of a high-spec gaming PC and the form factor of a games console.

Measuring just 12.5″ deep and 13.5″ wide, it's little bigger than an Xbox 360 but massively more powerful.

As comfortable next to a flatscreen TV as a monitor, it'll sit either horizontally or stand vertically. It's connectivity options include HDMI 1.4, 4x USB 2.0 slots, 2x USB 3.0, Ethernet and speaker connectors.

The differing specification configurations available are as follows:

Processor
Intel® Core™ i3-2120 (3.30GHz, 3MB L3 Cache, 2C)
Intel® Core™ i5-2320 (3.00GHz, 6MB L3 Cache, 4C)
Intel® Core™ i7-2600 (3.40GHz, 8MB L3 Cache, 8C)

Graphics
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 545
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 555

Memory
4096MB (2x2GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel
6144MB (1x4GB) (1x2GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel
8192MB (2x4GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel

Hard Drive
1TB (32MB Cache) 7,200RPM Hard Drive

Optical
24X Dual-Layer Burner (DVD±RW) (Standard)

Audio
Internal High-Definition 7.1 Performance Audio with Waves MAXX Audio Software

Wireless
Integrated 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Wireless LAN

When you keep in mind that all components are of standard size, meaning they'll be easily upgradeable in the future, the X51 seems like a superb addition to the gamer's living room. It's a pity it doesn't come with a Blu-ray drive; the one thing stopping the mini-desktop from being a true living room media hub.

With prices starting at £699, it's also a very affordable entry into pre-built PC gaming. It launches on February 6th.
