Alienware has announced two products that support the new Intel Viiv Technology platform – the Area-51 3550 and the Area-51 5400.

The Area-51 3550 is a Windows Media Center Edition desktop system designed to be the multimedia powerhouse of your home. You can store music, videos, photographs, and more all on the 3550 and use the MCE interface to access everything. As part of the Viiv platform, the 3550 comes with Intel’s Quick Resume Technology which provides one button on/off operation similar to televisions. The system also comes with dual core processors, 7.1 channel surround sound, and an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. Check out the product page for additional information. The 3550 is available now.

Meanwhile, Alienware has also announced a new all in one Media Center system called the Area-51 5400. Alienware decided to use Intel’s new Core Duo technology in their 5400 system which reduces power consumption and as a result, lowers acoustic levels from the system. The system also features Intel’s Viiv Technology, support for 802.11a/b/g networking, NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 graphics, integrated camera with microphone, and an optional TV tuner. You can find more information on this system here.

The 3550 is now available on the Alienware website while the 5400 is coming out soon.
