That’s the claim from custom-PC specialist Alienware, which is teasing the hordes of Light and Dark bedroom Jedis around the world with some shots of its forthcoming Aurora range.

Personally, I think they are wee bit late to the party and could have done with arriving back when the movies were around. OK, I know it’s the 30th anniversary for the movies but still…

Anyway, haven't there been other Star Wars PCs? Help me out here.

There’s little in the way of details on what you get under the hood but I’m sure it’ll be no different than any other high-end gaming rig with a selection of speedy chips, fat HDDs and whizz-bang graphics cards. This is what the marketing guff says – for the Dark Side that is:

* Shrouded in a magnificent black case design showcasing head-turning artwork of Darth Vader and the rest of the sinister Imperial forces.
* Features an exclusive Imperial wallpaper and desktop skin as well as a pulse-pounding Star Wars movie soundtrack.
* Powered by AMD® Athlon™ 64 and 64 FX processors, NVIDIA SLI™ graphics technology, and PCI Express technology.

Alienware recently launched its Hangar 18 home cinema PC, which looks cute but missed a trick by not including a HD drive – neither HD DVD nor Blu-ray. Will the Aurora’s rectify the oversight or can’t The Force see that far ahead? Jump now to see what your Light Side PC will look like.-Martin Lynch

The Force is Strong with This One

* Features breathtaking artwork of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Luke Skywalker and the other heroic Rebels displayed on a showstopping black case design.
* Includes an exclusive Rebel wallpaper and desktop skin worthy of the Jedi name in addition to the thrilling music of a Star Wars movie soundtrack.
* Equips you with the cutting-edge performance of AMD® Athlon™ 64 and 64 FX processors, NVIDIA SLI™ graphics technology, and PCI Express technology.
