Inexpensive Gaming Rig that Performs

Although I've only had this machine for about a month. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a robust gaming system and not wanting to pay over $2K. In my opinion, this machine provides far more performance than the price tag might lead you to expect. I'm not really into the flame artwork on the case, but I don't care what it looks like. It's fast.

Get it.

high rating cause its the beastliest comp ive ever purchased. Bought it for the SLI, have not been disappointed. Love the amount of ram, graphic cards are huge, and the load up speed is impressive. 2grand is a lot, but this machine is well worth it. Haven't installed windows 7 yet, since it came in the mail 2 weeks later (after having requested it online), and dont want to re-install everything back since it took me quite a while when the comp first came in. Delivery to ottawa fantastic.

Looks Great! Runs Great!

Mine runes a little warmer than others are reporting - 45c-CPU, 29c-HDD, 44c-SYS. I've not had it under a lot of strain. Love having temperature reported on front of computer. Mostly using as media center hooked to 65inch TV and surround sound. Added Nvid 3D kit - works great. Loved the keyboard & mouse but replaced it with blue tooth wireless to use from across the room. Received my Free Win 7 upgrade disc but have not installed it yet (ordered mine a few days befor Win7 released). It has a very nice paint job which makes it all the more worth the price. When I turned it on and set up Win it gave me the option to use CPG as 2 indipendent cards or SLI. It's already bridged for SLI. I've not even considered overclocking it since it's a little overkill already for what I use it for. Plays recorded videos great, even when pulled from RAID-5 attached to other network computers. Back ports were a little off - had to pry them into place to hook-up USB devices.

Good system

Pros System runs good, system is decently quiet, runs all sorts of games and is VERY NICE well worth the money Cons 1 of 2 graphics cards is messed up, sending it back, its manufacturers fault however Im still mad they are making ME pay for shipping and their screw up Other Info Running 1 GTX 260 I get 1280 x 1024 Red Alert 3 55 FPS Max Ultra High WoW - Dalaran 45 FPS Very big city Ultra High Overlord 2 60 FPS Max Ultra High World in conflict 45 to 120 FPS Bench mark Max Ultra High Overall thats with 1 GTX 260 its worth it Second graphics card is on its way back
