Acer Aspire G7700 Predator Gaming PC

The Basics... The Acer Aspire G7700 Predator is a dedicated Windows Vista gaming PC with Nvidia nForce 780th SLI-capable graphic chipset and four hard drive bays (allowing RAID). Configurations include Intel Core 2 quad-core processors, up to 8GB RAM, 7.1 audio support and Blu-ray optical drive. Ships with gaming mouse and keyboard. The Good... There are two good reasons to bolt Acer’s flagship PC to your gaming den floor. Firstly, it’s probably worth more than anything else in the house. Secondly, you won’t have to worry about the Predator’s aggressive angular jaws going on a high-tech rampage when its over-clocked quad-core computer brain achieves sentience and decides to eliminate puny humankind. As long as you’re in charge, though, this digital pitbull makes the ideal gaming partner – it’s smart, fast and hungry, with multiple RAID hard drives, every connection known to mankind, easy upgrading and even cool LED illumination for night-time gameplay. The Bad... It looks tougher than it is, so no kicking the plastic shell or flimsy swing arms when you lose a bout. While the gaming mouse and keyboard are OK, it’s always annoying have to pay for accessories you probably already own. The Bottom Line... A snarling, sneering powerhouse of a gaming PC, capable of almost infinite expansion (if you’ve got the cash). If you still can’t vanquish your opponents with the Predator on your side, the problem is in your fingers, my friend.
