The Alienware Aurora R13 is one such example, revived and reborn with a whole new design that's both striking and clever. Just like its parent Dell brand, Alienware has been making some amazing hardware recently. Literally, everything is replaceable, including the case fans, and the bottom line is that this is a PC any enthusiast would be happy with. The Obelisk boasts the high-end of the NVIDIA RTX GPU lineup with the new RTX 3080 as the top-end solution, CPUs from Intel's 10th Gen desktop lineup, DDR4 RAM from HyperX, SSD storage, and Intel's Optane memory if you wish. You simply pull the glass side panel off, and you have free access to all internal components, all of which can be upgraded over time.

On the one hand, you might say the design is a little uninspiring, but to the PC gamer, this is a machine where the function is the primary concern, and ease of access is paramount. However, HP just grabbed the box, made it look like the sort of PC you might put together yourself, then proceeded to stuff it with LED lighting and all the hardware you can shake a stick at. In an era where building your PC is so common, many manufacturers are trying to think outside the box with their desktop rigs. The HP OMEN 30L is more compact than its predecessors but still powerful and ultra-impressive.
