Motherboard Swapped on Area 51 R2! Very Easy!
Microcenter had a area 51 r2 on clearance for $1050. It was the low end model with only a 2tb HD 8gb Ram BUT a GTX 980. I picked it up and sold everything inside for $980 and the new build begins.

Corsair h80i GT with Noctua pwm
Asus deluxe 3.1
16gb ddr4 loaned from a friend til the corsair platinums comes in.
EVGA 980ti FTW
EVGA 1300 G2 Power supply
And 2 corsair fans from the h80i used as the case fans.
Im still using the 2tb HD and waiting on some 950 m.2's
Had to extend the usb 2 and 3 front panels aswell as the power r]

How did you manage to install the software alienware command center into the machine?
Did you install it to the OS prior of motherboard swap or did you do it with a new OS (install command center into OS after motherboard is swapped)?
And if you use the original fans for top and bottom intake, are they still controllable?

Nice. Big fan of the Area 51 chassis, always wondered why we haven't seen many more unconventionally-shaped cases on the market... especially from the bigger manufacturers.
