Early Thoughts...
We certainly believe that Acer has a market in PC World style retail stores for first time buyers and families wanting something special, but we aren’t sure if Acer will ever break into the market covered by boutique system builders like Vadim. What’s more, most serious gamers are often running on a shoe-string budget, so £1,500+ for a gaming machine that will be out of date in a year is a lot of money to cough up.

We’ll be having a much closer look at one of Acer’s Aspire Predator gaming PCs in the near future to see if our concerns turn out to be reality once production grade hardware is available

The case is one of the coolest stock ones ive seen. it lacks that puff of smoke when the door opens though...and the hydraulic hiss.
