We like:
Gaming performance; upgrade potential; easily accessible case
We don't like:
Huge case has questionable build quality and won't be to everyone's taste; lacks a memory card reader; eye-watering price
You might also need:
Joystick; gaming mouse; high-resolution monitor; surround-sound speakers
CNET UK judgement:
If money is no object, the FX-60 and dual 7800 GTX-equippped Aurora 7500 is probably the fastest PC you can buy off the shelf. It has lethal gaming performance and will outpace other PCs at doing the simple things, too
Full review:

Its specification makes for impressive reading and should appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in games. Alienware has equipped it with not one, but two of the latest graphics cards, 1 terabyte of physical storage and the fastest gaming processor available. If you're after a PC that won't shy away from anything, you're reading the right review. Continue Reading...
