Default [TechCo.] Acer gets dead serious about gaming PCs

Quote:
It's no denying that Acer has moved up in the PC manufacturers' ranks in the last few years with the biggest jump being made with the acquisition of Gateway but that still isn't enough for the company. As a 'next step,' Acer is preparing to take the gaming PC market by storm, and the first recruit for the job is the Aspire Predator.
Yea yea its a pre fabbed gaming rig but looks nice
The Rest

Aside from the ZOMG!-orange color, it does look good. I just hope those are metal parts and not plastic or that door latch will not last long at all.

So nedless to say i am pretty mad as intel is jipping my friend of his nanometers, so now his cpu will not be as good as my q6600, which is bad. Intel used to give people like a whole 130 nanometers but lately they are being very stingy and are not giving us their nanometers so our cpu's are not as good.
