Hi! Congrats for you very nice job! I projects to buy next week an alienware area 51, and upgrade it on the futur. I want to try it with a i5 12400f, so this cpu can be OC with certain specials motherboards. Do you think the MSI mortar MAX B660m fit on the r2 case? This is an msi so it would work, but its a micro ATX mobo. So, can a micro ATX fit on this case?

Hi! I am just about done building my Alienware PC just like yours, but the front panel header (I believe that’s what it’s called) is not long enough to reach the motherboard, as well as the USB header. Did you buy longer ones, or did you do something with the I/O board?

@@s20_ it's not the best but I had to get a power switch from another computer that was long enough to plug into the IO board. I learned that HP and Dell have shorter ones but if you look off brand, those are typically longer. My power switch on has two inputs (positive and negative ones) so I hooked those up to the IO and taped the switch to the back of the Alienware. Hope that helps, if you can't find anything let me know and I can try to find a power switch online for you.

L'Alienware Area 51 R2 est l'un des plus beaux boîtiers PC du 21ème siècle : sa forme, son système d'évacuation d'air, l'optimisation de l'espace intérieur.... maintenant, il n'y a plus de créativité : ils sont tous rectangulaires et transparents. Je regrette juste que le fabricant n'innove plus car les derniers Aurora R15 et R16 sont assez décevants je trouve.

Hello! I installed an Aorus z490 motherboard. Now I'm waiting for a 10 pin usb 2.0 cable to connect the input-output board, so that the power button and case backlight work. A question. Will I change the case lighting on my Aorus motherboard? or is it only possible on MSI?

Not sure I understood your question... The original lights on the case side panels and on the Front of the case will still work, if you install the Alienware command center back onto your computer. Somebody has created a custom Alienware command center which works on different motherboards than the original (msi) motherboard. Just google it and you should find it. I installed that version and I can still change my lights.
