We’re proud to announce that we’ve partnered with @XI Computers and we’ll soon be expanding our reviews to include PC games thanks to an amazing new system provided by @XI. There certainly is nothing like a gaming experience on an Intel quad core extreme machine, water cooled and using one of Nvidia’s latest GPUs. Even Vista behaves like a snappy OS. I’ve got to say that the hardware looks damn nice as well. Thanks to @XI we’ve got the goods to review some interesting, top end games coming down the line.
The Xi® MTower™ IGE-SLI™ Gamer Edition tower is what these games will be tested on. You can read a review of the dual core model from 2007 in PC World Magazine where it scored an impressive 86 out of 100 and was also rated the fastest computer reviewed in PC World’s Best and Worst Computers of 2007.
There will be more pictures posted soon and in a week or so I plan to have a full review of the system, including benchmarks and complete specs online. One of the most impressive aspects I’ve seen so far (beyond pure performance) is that after spending some time with Bioshock, the hottest of the four cores came up at a rosy 56C (about 135F) very cool for such an intense gaming experience.
I can say that the @XI experience has been great – from notification that the computer shipped through receiving it and setting it up. If you’re into serious speed and serious gaming (or CAD and CG) you’ll definitely want to check them out – they offer great value for your money and deliver on their promises.

Hey, I observed your web site through yahoo merely because it came up for “computers” but had difficulties viewing the website for some reason. It was giving some sort of error code at the top of the page. Just decided I’d let you know.
