Alienware Area-51 ALX (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770)
Reviewed on June 5, 2008
Alienware delivers most of what we expect in a high-end gaming PC, but without 64-bit Vista support, the Area-51 ALX's overall performance is limited. It's the fastest thing going for PC gaming, but at this price we expect the complete package.

Falcon Northwest Mach V (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800)
Reviewed on July 25, 2007
This newest Falcon Northwest Mach V isn't shy about its price tag, but it also dominated our gaming tests thanks to two fast ATI 3D cards and an overall top-notch configuration. The current uncertainty regarding next-gen PC gaming is the only issue holding this system back.

Gateway FX530XT
Reviewed on May 31, 2007
Gateway's reinvigorated flagship desktop offers a compelling combination of high-end features and fast 3D gaming and multimedia. Unfortunately, the motherboard hasn't caught up, limiting its upgrade potential. That's a small flaw, and otherwise this PC offers almost everything you'd want.

Maingear X-Cube (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800)
Reviewed on May 9, 2007
Maingear's sharp, tidy X-Cube packs a mostly powerful gaming punch. It loses a few steps due to Vista, and we wish it had a few more features. With so much in PC gaming in flux, we're also reluctant to recommend such a pricey purchase now. But if you need a fast, small gaming PC today, the X-Cube mostly delivers.

Alienware Area-51 7500 (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700)
Reviewed on January 3, 2007
We'd like this latest quad core-equipped Area-51 7500 if it were about $1,000 cheaper. It's as fast as it should be, but other vendors have similarly configured PCs that can do just as much for significantly less. Alienware's trademark care in assembly is evident, but that's not enough to justify the cost.
