If you thought your
ARES CG6155 was hot stuff during the sweltering summer, well, you were right. Sadly, your bragging days have come to an end, as a new era of cutting-edge buyers are fixing to one-up you with the purchase of ASUS' ROG CG6190. Timed to be released alongside Intel's potent
Core i7 processor, this beast is built around the X58 chipset and includes an eye-catching chassis, 52% faster processing speed in 3D gaming applications (thanks, overclocked Core i7!), up to 12GB of DDR3 RAM and support for an NVIDIA triple-SLI GPU setup or an ATI
CrossFireX rig. You'll also notice a biometric fingerprint scanner, a unique 2-kilowatt dual power system, customized liquid cooling modules and a SupremeFX X-Fi audio card. As ASUS loves to do, we're left in the dark on pricing, but we'd guess it'll launch somewhere between expensive and ludicrously pricey here soon.

Two kilowatt power system? Jesus, nice lean green machine there!
you worry about the gas mileage on your Lamborghini too dont you?
Contrary to popular belief, a higher rated PSU is actually good for efficiency. For one, they're almost always higher quality. But more importantly is the closer to 0% of the max wattage being pulled by the components, the higher efficiency. A 1200 watt PSU will run a 500 watt system at a higher efficiency than a 600 watt PSU.
Now if you're running 3x GTX 280s, 12 gigs of ram, 4 raptors, and an OCd i7... well, I think it's obvious you'll be pulling some watts. If you're a gamer but surf the internet too, buy an atom board with a stick of RAM and a KVM switch (total only one to two hundred bucks). Can switch over to your atom when you don't plan to play any games (something I'll do if I upgrade again in the near future).
Curvy... like an egg.
yaa..but the basic design is very reminiscent to the Dell XPS, sucks for Asus. But the specs are totally AWESOME.
haha moral orel
I guess there's money to be made on PC gaming!
tri sli? we need testes testes 1,2,...3?
THIS LOOKS AWEEEESOME!!!!!!!!111

Don't worry, you can offset the electricity by never washing your clothes, which won't be a problem when you stop going outside for the next several months. Who needs IRL friends when you have the interweb?
I'm sure it'll be overpriced and I'm not really a big fan of Asus, but I have to say, that is one orgasmically powerful PC. Is it wrong that it kind of turns me on?
um for most people yes, here ,no.
the case looks horrible! what were they thinking!
man that's another toy for next year, and next year only.
behold, all shall bow down before the ALMIGHTY ROG ! ! !
The lack of cylon jokes is incredible.
I was thinking knight rider.
it says "a unique 2-kilowatt dual power system" does that mean 4 killowatts?
ahahaha, it probably means 150 watt power supply cut in half.
No, two 1-killowatt PSUs. It's good for efficiency and price.
thanks for clarifying! 4 kilowatts is huge..
That case is ubër sexy. It complements the specs very nicely. I want but probably wouldn't be able to afford for the next 2 years by which time it'll be obsolete. Oh well.
I like it, the design is in the healthy middle of classy and showy. I prefer classy, which the Omen case is the closest to, but this is damn nice. Also, fingerprint readers are cool.
BOW-CHICKAH-WAH-WAH
Your comment made me lulz so much....thanks for that =]
seriously..so random....
It looks like it's about to burst from the awesomeness contained within.
Does it come with a nuclear power plant also??
It looks like a cylon.
Something else for bankers to blow their enormous bonuses on besides that Aston One-77.
Does it eat people?
Cheap bastards... they didn't even bother to install their own Sonar sound card, using "X-Fi build-in sound" instead (for those who don't know its the same as any other build-in sound - crap).
Don't be fooled humans! It's here to control you.
