    If you don't want to upset the "Quadfather" then listen up, Vigor Gaming just unveiled their newest rigs based on AMD / ATI's R600 architecture. Right, as in the Radeon HD 2900 XT which, competes fiercely with (but doesn't quite take out) NVIDIA's 640MB GeForce 8800 GTS and GeForce 8800 GTX in head to head frag matches. Still, the top-o-the-line Force Recon QX4 starts at just $3,189, but increases quickly when bumping up to an 3.0GHz Athlon 64 X2 FX-74 dual processor option and that limited edition "Quadfather" paint (not to mention disk, memory, and fancy pants cooling options). Well, at least the guests to your next LAN party will be honored and grateful for the invitation.

    AMD's Quad FX chips haven't been on the market for all that long, but that hasn't stopped one company after another from pushing out the gaming machines. Today we bring you the third rig that we've spotted in as many weeks, the Vigor Force Recon QX4. This baby is pretty loaded, with two 3.0GHz Athlon 64 FX-74 dual-core chips, a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB DDR3 video card with DVI and TV out, 2GB of RAM, two 7200rpm, 250GB SATA II drives, an internal 16X dual-layer DVD burner, gigabit Ethernet, a whopping 10 USB ports, and for good measure, a floppy drive. The whole setup will start at $2900 and will be officially launched at CES 2007, coming up next month. We're pretty sure though that you'll have to BYO floppies -- that is, if you can even find a use for them anymore.[Via 64-Bit-Computers]
