Not that they care...
Also, CPU isn't the best choice either. In one word: lame.

But at least it looks good.]]>Jul 31st 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/
The 12 GB DDR3 look good
the Graphic card is crap and the processor could be better for that price.
The rest is fine to be honest]]>Jul 31st 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/

But seriously whats up with incredibly poor looking case. Its just the same rectangular box with a shoddy looking shell around it. You can see the beige box poking through up the top so if your going for the wow factor with the case at least finish the job...]]>Jul 31st 2009 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/

That's a rather silly thing to say, don't you think? There's a reason this is called a 'gaming rig'; it's because it contains things one needs for gaming.

For every day usage, the only part of the specs that is worth something is the hard drive and possibly the Blu-Ray player. Otherwise, one could get a much cheaper PC that will offer the same experience. After all, I'm pretty sure opening Firefox/Internet Explorer doesn't require 12GB DDR3 RAM and a Core i7 950 at 3.06Ghz.

Then again, I'm not aware of any games that can make much use of those two either.]]>Jul 31st 2009 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 7:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/
The case looks ok, but I bet its built with the cheapest plastic, much like Alienware desktops.]]>Jul 31st 2009 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://i31.tinypic.com/2nr1wxz.jpg]]>Jul 31st 2009 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/
I'm at the stage in life where I am no longer interested in having a PC that has flashing lights/neon, or looks like a Transformer, or looks like an alien's head. It probably doesn't help that I didn't like the Transformer movies and think Michael Bay should be hunted down and beaten to death with the corpse of Shitty LeBeef for crimes against cinema.]]>Jul 31st 2009 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/
Take a Corvette. You could put the engine, drive-train, suspension, and interior from it, into a Toyota Camry body. It just wouldn't be as fun.]]>Jul 31st 2009 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/
The car analogy, however, is very poor. Besides the fact that Corvettes are rubbish, the point is that you can have both power and style. Take, for example, something like a BMW M5. There you have an almost perfect driving machine yet it doesn't looks like some sort of reject from The Fast & The Furious. Mind you, I still lust after a TVR Tuscan so there is no accounting for taste...]]>Jul 31st 2009 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/Jul 31st 2009 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/
