Although they were glimpsed last month at the E3 Expo, PC maker Alienware has taken the wraps off limited edition Superman-themed Area-51 laptop and desktop systems sporting Superman-themed custom art, themes, and mousepads. The systems, of course, tie in to the upcoming film Superman Returns. Each individually-numbered system comes with a certificate of authenticity from Alienware CEO Nelson Gonzalez.

The desktop system features two impressively detailed mural art pieces by comic artist Tommy Lee and touts Pentium D dual core processor up to 3.46 GHz, liquid cooling, an 800 MHz frontside bus, and 4 MB of Level 2 cache, plus support for up to 2 GB of memory. Graphics, storage, and add-ons all vary with configurations, which can be extensively customized to individual orders
