The biggest problem with Alienware gaming PCs has always been their relentless use of proprietary parts.

Now though, Alienware has launched the AlienFX board cable conversion kit.

Should it be lumped in with any Alienware Area-52 purchase?

Probably, but let’s take baby steps as a good thing.

It also comes with a fan power bridge wiring connector and a USB dongle extension.

Lastly in the kit, you’ll get three ATX nuts for bolting a new motherboard to the chassis.

Arguably, this kit would be better positioned as an included extra with any Area-51 PC purchase.

In fairness, motherboard upgrades really only become a hurdle once in a blue moon.
