Alienware X51 R2 review! Can it still game years later?

So I recently got this computer in the garage and decided to do a review on it. This computer was pretty cool. This was the I3 4th gen variant with a GTX 645 6gb ddr3 ram and a 1TB HDD. Alien ware did have beefier models at the time and this was their entry model budget model. Considering the age of this computer I was very impressed that It still ran very well and was able to do some light gaming. Now the suck factor of this computer was the power supply. It uses this brick power adapter which limited your video card upgrade path. To get the best performance for this card requires the power adapter to be upgraded and even then you are limited to a GTX 1060 at best and you have to run a blower cooler or the video cards would overheat. Despite this, the small size and convenience make it a great entry level gaming PC and HT Pc. I used it for a while and enjoyed it very much. The size was great for travel and squeezing in tight places to hide away. Even with the small size, this computer had decent temps and was not that loud under loud.
