Acer's Aspire Predator AG7750 Desktop

 


Acer's notebook collection has been growing furiously over the past few months, and with demands shifting from desktops to more mobile form factors, that's really no surprise. But the desktop isn't dead yet, particularly in the gaming sector. For hardcore gamers, there's really no substitute for a desktop GPU, desktop CPU and a desktop hard drive, and Acer knows that.

In order to satisfy the demand for more and more frame rates, the Aspire "Predator" AG7750 has been launched. According to Acer, it's also headed for "world domination." That may be a little extreme, but just take one look at the case: not so far-fetched now, is it? Launched this week in the U.S., this new Predator gaming PC is a true monster inside and out, and aside from having one of the more outrageous (and beautiful) enclosures in the industry, it's also outfitted with an Intel Core i7 quad-core GPU, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 470 GPU (with 3-way SLI support), 12GB of DDR3, and full support for NVIDIA 3D Vision. You'll need to purchase a 3D monitor, but the PC itself is ready and loaded for 3D.

There's also a 1.5TB hot-swap SATA hard drive, room for four SATA HDDs, 7.1-channel audio support, an illuminated door on the lower front of the chassis, a 5.25-inch optical drive bay and a variety of open PCI Express slots, including two PCI Express x16, two PCI Express x1, one PCI Express x8 and a standard PCI. The system also offers a host of connectivity options including 11 USB 2.0 ports (five in front, six in back), IEEE 1394, two eSATA ports, two Ethernet ports, two DVI-D ports (up to six with three graphics cards), a TV-out port, six audio jacks and various others.

Acer won't be selling this one cheap, though. The starting price is $1999, and it's available now if you have the means.
